Trvative cranks Stylo 3.3 - what bottom bracket- Help

Blue Parker

Hi I am looking at changing to Truvative crankset but want to know what bottom bracket it will use? Hollow tech 2 etc?

It uses the Truvativ GXP external BB. It'll come with the crankset in all likelihood.

when the bearings die (which it will, the seals are crap) the hope external BB fits - but needs an adaptor (£7-£10 ?)

So if I don't get the BB (buying second hand- maybe) are they easy and not and arm and a leg in cost?

GXP bottom brackets are around the £20 mark if buying a standard Truvativ one (like I just have for my Firex crank):
