Bottom bracket size ?

Getting a new carbon frame to build a bike.

The bottom bracket is a BB86/D12

Anyone know if that's a standard size ? Just don't want grief when buying the group set

Cheers

BB86 is fairly normal. Should be able to buy that as standard. If not a good set of BB86 bearings will set you back about £20.

Make sure you get the metal cover between the bearings and the cranks - it will be almost identical construction to your Kuota
