Anyone know what makes of BB will fit a Truvativ Stylo crankset, external bearing type?

Struggling to find anyone with a Truvativ, but guessing the SRAM will fit, but only guessing.

What about Shimano, FSA etc.?

Ta!

    any GXP compatible BB, Truvative/Sram/Hope/Enduro/Gusset/Superstar etc etc.

    not shimano, not FSA, not RF.

    So that suggests GXP axle diameter is smaller than Shimano/FSA/Hope. Correct?

    (I've fitted a Shimano 105 BB to a FSA SLK Mega Exo road crank, so I know they are compatible)

    No one seems to have stock of Truvativ/SRAM :(

    First Google link :?

    Edit: and yes you're right, GXP is slightly smaller diameter - Hope do little 'top hat' type spacers to enable you to use Shimano spec BBs.

    Be wary of compatibility with FSA - there are different, incompatible, BBs within their own range!

    no it is the same except for at one end.

    THanks for the info, but that link to Wiggle tells me they are out of stock.

    I stand corrected, thought they were slightly different diameter.

    Weird about stock, when I clicked on it it said in stock, click the link and it doesn't.

    Not my day!

    the Hiope top hat is for Hope BBs only. Unless the BB you have is exactly the same spec as a Hope one. (most are not).
