Good afternoon,
It is quite confusing, to me at least, so I won't post an image.
BEWARE - UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE ORDERING!
https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CSTEAMFGPCS/fsa-chainset-gossamer-pro-abs-double-386evo-a9
It seems to be a high spec chainset (52/36) at £60 squid, as I need a new 6750 chain ring (£70-£90) anyway I have taken the chance.
I am quite concerned by the auto response email
Shipping method
DPD Next Day Tracked (M to F)
Have I signed up to gender reassignment?
Bye

I've got a couple and had no issues with them.

Good afternoon
I currently commute (36 miles plus) a day on this and it is gobbling up "consumables", BBs, chainrings etc.
£690 last year!
It has a BB30 with Ultegra so needs an adaptor to make the two work together, along with the chainset I also bought something that converts BB30 to "Sensible" (https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BBSRPFBSA/sram-pressfit-30-to-bsa--adapter--46mm--68-73mm)
Have I bo-boed, I thought EVO386 fitted BB30, oh well, some more wasted money.
I will find out in a few days.

I will find out in a few days.

Whether it fits depends on your existing BB30 width. Standard road BB30 is 68mm wide, whilst 386EVO is 86.5mm.
Apparently FSA make a whole range of adapters: https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/the-complete-guide-to-bottom-bracket-standards/
Scroll down the the BB386 section (look for the orange bottom bracket)

Good evening,
I am tempted to go back to riding this (other than it needs a new BB and the fixed cup is very happy with where it is);

I am willing to experiment, at £50 a pair from the LBS BB bearings that adapt Shimano cranks to BB30 twice a year is getting expensive.

I think you'll be too wide
Looks like it's same diameter and but different length 68 Vs 86 you need adapter cones see above
You'll also need an adapter to fit Shimano ht2 to 386 Evo.
