Compact to double

[snedden9485]

Thinking of changing my FSA gossamer compact crankset to a full double crankset. Just spotted this on chain reaction and it seems too cheap to go past. Havent had any issues with the compact version of this. My specs seem the same as this one, just 110 BCD and running 34/50 opposed to the 39/53.

Can i use my existing BB? Is there anything else i would need other than a new chain?

That link is a triple.

Woops, it seems it is...

Out of stock in 175mm for the FSA gossamer, came across this one that is cheap. Here is the link.

Seems cheap for what looks to be a nice crankset.

Here is a link to my current crankset. It seems its the mega exo version with the mega exo BB. Will i be able to straight swap this or will i need a new BB etc?

FSA BB bearing cups are compatible with FSA cranks(of course) and Shimano cranks. The same bearing cups will work with all cranksets that are designated mega-exo or external bearings.

It should be a straight swap of cranksets, if you buy FSA or Shimano.

When putting in the 53/39 crankset, you will have to adjust the height of your front derailleur to clear the larger chainring. Not hard, but can be fiddly. If you are buying shimano, you will need the shimano tool to install the lock nut.

Gee this is confusing and offers endless possibilities! I have discovered the previous one i listed comes with ISIS BB, which i dont want, i want the mega EXO style BB.

This one looks nice and is on sale:
