2010 Fuel EX cranks/BB

All the 2010 frames are using the press BB. It's just like installing a headset. The EX 7 will have a press BB so I would only bother upgrading the crankset and not the BB

I don't know if you can use a BB30 in the FuelEx line as the bottom bracket using Trek's BB90 standard and the BB shell width is 89.5mm wide. The BB shell width in the BB30 standard is 68mm. You are unfortunately stuck with wider cranks meant to be used with external cups BB's from my understanding.

Well, that's okay then... Because all the BB30 cranks I've seen so far have been 400 bucks or more.

I found this info on the detailed spec sheet from our dealer site:
