Was it worth it? Well, I got to install the Shimano cranks I wanted. But I’m still in the process of building the bike so I have yet to do a single pedal on the bike.
Got it, thanks. Yeah, I'm leery of using adapters. It seems that the conversion bottom bracket is much better, but also more expensive. It's probably worth it though. Thank you
