My Allez is, I believe, a 2006 model. I am looking to throw a 105 crankset on there but am not sure what will fit it. I know that BB30 will not work. Can anyone provide some insight with what will work with it? I’m not sure what kind of bottom bracket is on there now. It has the cheapo components that it came with. TIA, d.
What model of Allez is it? Specialized has a good archive site that will give you the specs. of all models within the last 10 years.
In any case, regardless of model, the allez will be compatible with any standard (BSA) english threaded BB and crankset.
This includes;
-SRAM GXP
-FSA MegaExo
-Shimano (just not the BB86 line)
I can only assume it’s the Allez Comp. Just the standard model. Matte Silver is the color. It doesn’t have a model on the frame or anything. I’m getting hooked up with a 105 group minus the crank because it’s a BB30 and was looking to pick up a used 105 crank for cheap somewhere. Want to make sure I get what works though. Thanks.
How are you getting a 105 group that’s bb30. Shimano doesn’t produce bb30 cranks, do they?
Specs show the 2006 Comp double as a Hollowtech 2

So most external BB type cranks will work, just have to know 9 or 10spd, crank length you prefer. etc.
