FSA Compact Carbon crank with Ultegra

[watford3]

If I have Scott CR1 Pro which has front derailleur FD-6603 and BB-6603, and i want to change to FSA Compact crank, is it simply a matter of changing cranks over or do i need to change BB and possibly derailleur?

I had an Ultegra equipped Klein. I installed an FSA Energy octolink crank. I lowered the front derailleur a tad, shortened the chain and reprogrammed my Flight Deck Computer. It shifts just dandy and the only thing that I had to buy was the crankset.

If your front derailleur has a braze-on mount, you might have to do some work to get it down as low as you'd like.

thanks for your advice; the cranks come with bb so should not be a problem

The cranks came stock on my bike, so I'm not sure if the BB that came on my bike is the one that comes with the SL-K crank, but it was pure garbage, I ended up replacing it a week later for a gigapipe ISIS BB.
