Cervelo bbright to shimano

Apologies if this has been done - I’m picking up a 2016 p2 tomorrow and one of many changes I plan to do is ditch the fsa gossamer crank that comes standard and install some ultegra cranks.
I have never worked with bbright before but is this all I need here : https://www.pushys.com.au/wheels-mfg-bbright-shim-adapter-for-shimano-24mm-spindle-cranks.html ?
Or are there better options instead of shims? I see wheels also make full bottom brackets but am unfamiliar with angular varieties etc.
thanks for any help

They will work, but not optimally in my experience and certainly will not help if you develop a creak (not that uncommon). Here is another way to go and there are several like it the thread together and provide and can make up (to a degree) of some of the wide tolerances on some Bbright BB.

There are now a couple of one piece designs out there as well, but I have not tried those.

I personally use locktite 641 on all BB that adds a little security for creaking.

Cheers!

I prefer BBInfinite for BBright conversions. Great product.

Awesome thanks guys - thought the shins might not be to flash

I had the cups for a while but then switched to https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/bbright/bbright-out-angular-contact-bb-for-24mm-shimano-cranks-black.html

It’s been rock solid after about 3k miles. A word of warning - you need some tools to install it - like this one https://wheelsmfg.com/universal-bottom-bracket-press.html

Knocking the BBRight out of the shell is a bit of a hassle but can be done with a 2x4 or something like that. This tool makes it very easy - https://www.westernbikeworks.com/product/park-tool-bbt-303-bottom-bracket-tool-set-for-bb30

I have 3 bikes with 3 BB Infinite bottom brackets. Phenomenal product. And they’re local to my city so they install on my bike themselves. 😀
