I have a stock 2011 p2 with FSA gossamer crank. I'm looking to purchase a new crank (the spindle on the original snapped!) And looking at a FSA gossamer bbright based on price and aesthetics.

Will this work with my p2 or do I need a bbright BB?

Cheers

Just replaced the BB and cranks on my 2012 P2. It came with FSA Gossamer cranks and a Mega EXO BB. I purchased a Power2Max PM with a Rotor 3D cranks and was told by them that I would need a BSA BB, (BB1). I did some reading myself and it looks like you can can use spacers to make a BBright BB fit on it, or maybe it's the other way around, and you can't but a BSA would fit on a BBright with spacers. I'm sure I've been no help and your now most likely more confused. I know I was when trying to figure out the seemingly 500 different BBs out there. Good luck. I'd try emailing Cervelo or FSA to ask maybe.

We cannot use a bbright crank with my bike, no matter which BB you use/ hope this helps someone else in the future. I'm going with the ultegra 6750 and new 6700 bottom bracket
