Threaded bottom bracket to Press in?
So, I have an older Giant carbon frame that uses a threaded 6600 BB. I also came upon a brand new Ultegra group that uses a pressed-in BB. I'm wondering if I can just swap out the press-in for a threaded unit and still use the new Ultegra 6800 crankset.

Should be able to use your existing BB or at least a new 6800 threaded. Both are HTII

I agree with @dedhed.
You can use a Shimano SM-BBR60 bottom bracket. They are about $25.
