BB386 to PF30

I have a BB386 EVO bottom bracket and crankset on my Wilier. I believe it is a BB386/PF30 bottom bracket. Would it fit into a Press Fit 30 (PF30) frame, or would I need adapters?

Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.

You need a PF30 BB and spacers for the crank.Will work fine.

Thanks. I will get the PF30 bottom bracket, and spacers to adapt the 386 crankset.

Also, to be more accurate, it actually kind of depends. PF30 and BB386 use the exact same bearings. Depending on the exact BB the center sleeve might just not be long enough.
