2012 Giant defy 3 BB compatibility
Dear all, I currently am using a Giant defy 3 bike from 2012 on my trainer. I would like to swap out my current groupset of SRAM force 2012 model into a Shimano 105 r7000 groupset which I bought and didn't come with a BB.
Can I reuse my current BB or should I get the latest Shimano BBR60 will it fit?

You need a new bottom bracket. SRAM and Shimano are not interchangeable. They have different size spindles. Just purchase the BBR60 and all will be good. (As long as it is 68 mm English threaded bottom bracket on that frame).
