Right so heres the story

I am wanting to upgrade my bottom bracket and chainset as far as i know its a Hexon the bb width is 68mm and length is 110mm. Bottom line is i need something pretty strong as i like to give the bike a fair bit of abuse over jumps and the odd freeride.

    in that case have a look at the shimano Hone comes with bb sorted. just makesure the place fitting it faces the bb shell before fitting.
