If I understand the BB that came with the crank set and on the S40 is Threaded not a press-in?
Thanks

Correct. Threaded.

Quick question did you use a BB86 with the SRAM GXP 165mm Rival 10 Speed Oct 50/34 Crankset?

BB86 is a pressfit bottom bracket. You'll want a SRAM GXP BB for 68mm English Treading (aka BSA) which may or may not come with the crankset. Or similar.

Alan - if you don't mind me asking... about how much money you spent to build up the bike, not counting the $2300 frame kit and how many hours you have put in? Just trying to see if at the end of the day, it comes out to be about $4000 list price for a built bike.

Thanks,

I think I have better components than the stock build (some two levels better). Wheels were bought directly from Velocity. Every thing else came from Amazon. I have about $4300 total invested. It took about 3 relaxed evenings to build and tune.

So to summarize... you spent about $4300 and 6-9 hours total to have a bike with better components. That's very helpful. Thanks!
