Hollowtech II in BB30

[Herzog]

After a bit of advice...

I have a Shimano Hollowtech II crankset (Ultegra comact 6700) and I've recently acquired a frame with a BB30. I'd like to use the Hollowtech II cranks on the new frame (Bianchi Sempre), but as I understand it I'll need an adapter. Before I buy anything I'd like to know that I'm not going to be wasting cash by getting the wrong thing. Would this be suitable:

Or this
http://www.wiggle.co...sa-adapter-kit/<

I'm guessing they are, but would like a bit of advice before purchasing (I've had a bike with BB30 before). Would I have to remove any piece of the BB30 unit before installing the adapter? Finally, what benefits would the more expensive SRAM branded unit give?

Thanks,
Herzog

Herzog funny you should ask this question because I asked it on this forum some weeks ago.As you would expect all of those that replied gave me very good information but and there of cause has to be one doesn't there many of those that replied could not understand that I had a threaded BB and were advising me to buy the kit. I wrote to FOCUS who my frame was built by as well but in the end one of our colleagues sussed what I was saying and advised me that has it had a thread I could fit a Hollowtech crank directly.

If this does not make sense send me a PM with your number and I will give you a call.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. I've sorted out my problem now, and was fairly straight forward. Using some of these http://wheelsmfg.com/content/view/785/54/ to create the correct interface between the BB30 bearings and the chainset

It took a while to get there, but it's sorted now.
