I've ordered a chinese open mold frame and it has a bb86. I was wondering if there are any good cranksets with that standard or if I should look at getting a conversion. I'm looking at getting a used crankset and thinking sram force 22.

Thanks

Maybe go with a thread-together bb https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/bb86-92/bb86-92-outboard-angular-contact-bb-for-24-22mm-sram-cranks-black.html

I just put one of these on my BB86 Warbird (well, the one for 24mm spindle Shimano cranks). Definitely took care of the creakyness I was dealing with.

Any Shimano, Campagnolo, or SRAM GXP crank will fit BB86 perfectly well. Avoid 30mm spindle cranks with this bottom bracket standard and you’ll be fine.

My LBS also used a Wheels Manufacturing BB86 when I switched to GRX. Owner said better quality than the Shimano. I've had zero issues.
