According to this site:

It came with a MegaExo BB so you have an english 68 BB style

I'm unable to find a picture of the crank you mentioned. On your crank, does the non-drive side have pinch bolts to hold the crank arm on or does it have one crank bolt in the center and use a wavy washer between the arm and the BB?

I'm pretty sure the 8200 is the right BB but if you want a less expensive solution a BB-8681 is the non-ceramic equivalent to the 8200.

Those two are for the cranks with the wavy washer and they will work with the cranks that have pinch bolts.

FSA carbon cranks don't have pinch bolts.

Also if you find just the right spacer instead of a wavy washer it will spin a little better.

I second getting the non ceramic one. The FSA BBs spin nicely if you don't use the wavy washer.

I wasn't 100% sure exactly which crank he has and hoped he would give a better description or a picture. That would have bumped the post to the top again for more people to see it.

I should have realized the Carbon Cranks wouldn't have the pinch bolt, little bit of a brain fade there.
