I've got my eye on some RaceFace cranks:

My current BB is octalink, so does anyone know whether or not I would be able to fit these, or would I need a new BB, like this one:

If I did need the BB.. Why is there no sizing? Are the X-Type a one size only? (eg 118x68)

I need a 118x68 bb for the bike the cranks would be going on.

Also, I have a bash ring that fits on my big ring, not replaces it.. Fits onto it, covering all 3 rings. I cant seem to find bolts that are big enough to fit from my middle ring, through the big ring and then to my bash ring.. Any ideas?

Thanks chaps!

    no bb needed as it comes with the cups etc.

    bb shell will need facing and new fitting tools required.

    fits both 68 and 73mm bb use the spacers provided.
