Subject: RE: Hey Mike How are you? I have a random question for you regarding Giant bikes: I have a 2018 TCR ADV Pro and some Rotor 3D+ inpower cranks, you wouldn't happen to know what BB/cups to use would you?


Is his bike a RIM brake or DISC brake?



See image attached from their manual

Our BB shell is PF (press fit) BB86. If can also accept BB386 but would require a spacer kit.

Hi Simeon 

All the Giant TCR’s besides the very early alloy ones all use a std Press fit 41mm x86mm BB (BB86)therefore for rotor you would use their 4130 BB but bear in mind that because you are using a larger diameter axle of 30mm vs the std Shimano 24mm axle the balls in the BB become a lot smaller and not as durable from the original ones .

Maybe explore a few other options ,Garmin Power pedals for example where nothing has to changed .

Hope this helps 

Regards 

Mike

Hello Simeon,

The BB of  2018 TCR ADV Pro is PF92, if installed Rotor 3D+ inpower cranks, 30mm spindle, you need the PF92,30 mm.

e.g. :  https://www.jensonusa.com/Race-Face-BB92-30mm-Bottom-Bracket

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a 2018 TCR ADV Pro, I’ve seen a few people have installed Rotor 3D+ inpower cranks on their Giants and I would like to do the same.  Can you inform me as to what BB/cups to use?

Thanks

Hi Simeon,

Our TCR Advanced Pro frames have a 86mm BB shell, according to the Rotor website you will want to use their Press Fit 4630 bottom bracket.
