I don't know anything at all about BB sizing and none of the guides I've found on the web are helping me, they're all so bllody vague :evil:

All I need to know is will this crankset: RaceFace Evolve DH
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6027

Fit this BB: RaceFace ISIS Evolve DH
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=902

To some of you this might be stupidly obvious but I don't want to go off buying two parts that don't fit eachother :oops:

    no they will not work together.

    from the cranks Utilizing the New X-type BB System. which is not ISIS

    the Cranks should come with their own bearings abd the axle is part of the LH arm.

  • Oh right, so I don't need a BB at all with them? :?

    I was fully expecting RaceFace to have made something typically overcomplicated for me to get my head round :|


    PS Will these fit a Truvativ Boxguide?

    I had Race Face Deus stuff on my bike but the BB didn't last long at all so I got a Hope BB which will hope(sorry)fully last a lot longer.
