Replacement options for FSA Mega EXO BB
I have a Willier Izoard XP105 (2016 model).
It currently has a FSA Mega Exo bottom bracket for 19mm spindles but I see 24mm seems more common?
Can I replace this BB to use a Shimano R7000 chainset (24mm spindle)? And if so, which bottom bracket would anyone suggest getting?
I’m new to cycling so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

When looking for a bb you have to know what the bb shell size is on your bike. typically the inside diameter and the width in mm. If it's threaded, then inside diameter is somewhat commonly in inches and TPI (threads per inch). Don't underestimate the importance of knowing the shell width. You bikes maker will know the specs.
So if you find out what the shell is on your bike, then you can see if Shimano makes a bb to fit it. Same for any other crankset maker, they'll make bb's to fit their crank in what they feel are the common BB shells in the markets that they are trying to sell to.
