I have been looking into putting together a custom build, and I purchased a Shimano 105 R7000 groupset to base it around. I've been looking at a few different frames to build this up on and spotted one which seems almost ideal for me (a 2016 Orbea Orca).
The only issue is it has a press-fit BB and the 105 groupset came with an English threaded BB (BB-RS501). Should the crankset work with either kind of BB and I'd essentially just end up with a spare BB or are they specific to the different types of BB?
As I said, sorry if this is really obvious to folk with more experience and thanks in advance for any advice!
Either find a frame with a BSA bottom bracket or get the 105 group press fit b-bracket. I would find a different frame with BSA, it’s a better b-bracket system
