I need to replace my ageing XT octalink BB but on CRC the only 68mm listed is an E type here. To my knowledge E type referres to the mounting bracket for a front derailleur not the BB itself, my front mech is a standard frame mounted top pull version so would this BB be ok for my bike or is this the completely wrong thing??

Any advice appreciated, cheers guys and gals :D

    get the LX one and you the metal left hand sleve from your old one.

    Or use the E type but add the spacer where the E type mech would have been. Chain line should not change.
