Advice on Bottom Bracket & Crankset Swap for Older Specialized Roubaix Pro
I normally ride 56cm with 175mm cranks, however, my Specialized Roubaix Pro (w/Dura Ace) is 54cm and came with 172.5 FSA K-Force Carbon Fiber crankset. It uses Mega-Exo bottom bracket.
It's a very quick and nimble bike with this setup, but I want to swap it all out for 175s. Since the Mega Exo BB is kind-of obscure, I'd like to swap in a more popular Shimano based BB & crankset.
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated!
