Bottom Bracket Help

dhr · December 2016

I'm building a bike. It's not at the level of a @Dark_mark Dream Bike because I haven't been hit by a car. But it's still kind of cool.

I need bottom bracket assistance. To date, this is a world I've tried to avoid. Now it can't be avoided. I want to make sure I'm doing this right.

The frame is BB386EVO. I want to put a Shimano Ultegra crank on it.

Is this what I need?

And...

Anything else? Will that do it?

I'm going to throw one of those Wolf Tooth Components DropStop Chainrings on it and make it a nice 1x.

Thanks!

The guys at Wheels Mfg are very quick to answer questions. I would shoot the question to them through their website.

Shimano uses BB86 (Press Fit), so BB386 will be a mixture between BB30 and BB86.

Confirm with the wheels guys, but yeah that's it. The BB you've got will be the right length, and the adapters will take the 30mm down to 24 for the shimano crank.
