BB386 EVO & campy

Helping a friend build out a Wilier with BB386EVO. I believe the ultratorque crankset inserts directly into the frame cups. Are any adapters/spacers (beyond the wavy washer) required?

The frame arrived without any manual or instructions & a bag containing a jumble of bearings & adapters, some of which I believe to be for shimano/sram/gpx etc.

Anyone familiar with this new 'standard'?

Is the BB shell 42 or 46mm in diameter?

Is it just a hole? Like this?

Or does it have shelves for the bearings?

worked it out...

the LBS gave me good advice. Turns out the ultra torque cranks just slip right in as the cups are built in. The bearings and adapters are for shimano & others.

Not a bad setup.

Any updates?

Reviving this old thread as I have a BB386 shelled frame coming and would like to run campy cranks. Is the Wilier cup kit the best option for running Ultra-torque cranks? Has anyone used the Wilier cups and the non-drive side Wilier bearing to run Power-torque cranks? I'd love to have a set of the new Over-torque cranks but they don't seem to be very available yet, and are out of my price range.

I saw that FSA promotes using their adapter kit with the FSA PF30 bottom bracket, but as I understand this would result in a redundant set of bearings with Ultra-torque cranks.

Lastly, if anyone has any input on the basic FSA Gossamer BB386 crankset, I'd love to hear it, as that they represent a good below-budget option.
