dear fellow riders
i have a trek 8500 and it came equiped with shimano pressfit bb.i was just wondering while fitting xt m785 crankset do they need any spacers like ht II bb ? the other one is , is there any other way (i mean easier) to bleed their brakes without having those yellow funnel ( called one way bleeding) ? generally how different are those bb,s in terms of durability? and performance.
thanks and appreciated for any info.

If you are not removing the current BB then there is no need to worry about spacers. With regards to easier eays to bleed. If you already own an avid bleed syringe that you don't use anymore. The end screws in perfectly. If not the funnel is only about £5 anyway!0

Lucky you!
First chance you get, replace it with an Real World Cycling/Enduro Fork Seals one; much better.
If you look closely as the BB shell, there should be a thin spacer on the drive side, a couple of mm wide at most.0
