I am experimenting with SRAM group set.   And my first difficulty was with the BB. The crankset was BB 30 and it could fit only BB framesets like Cannondale, Giant etc.  with BB 30 frames.  So I cant use the very light SRAM red crankset.   Money down the drain unless I can resell this (It costs P20,000 bn)

I was planning to buy a standard SRAM however it is only for 11 speed.  Seem to fit the rest of group set na 11 speed?  An expert in SRAM reminded me that it may not shift properly. My research shows that it could be noisy:   a wider 10 speed chain running along a thinner blade of 11 speed.  Compatible may be but not perfect.

1.  Brands compatibility:     SRAM and Shimano are compatible:   for cogset, they are interchangeable and the  spline accepts either Shimano or SRAM.  However Campagnolo splines are different and so are their chainset.

2.  Chainset compatibility  SRAM vs Shimano no problem provided both are of the same speed.
