    Im fairly sure they are compatible with Shimano external bottom brackets so I would go for Shimano XTR. Reasonable value, excellent quality, long life and super smooth running.

    I think that FSA and Shimano are the same diameter spindle, but they may not be the same length, swappng to Shimano could lead to the cranks having play or being too tight

    Thanks for the advice might be better of staying with the fsa bb.

    They are the same length. Bottom brackets are compatible, get yourself a xtr BB, mine has lasted better than any other I have tried .
