Hi.
I'm in need of a new bottom bracket since I'm replacing the ISIS cranks on my Kona Hoss 2007 bike, which came with a Race Face ISIS BB.
I'm not sure which size to get for the frame - is there a way of checking without removing the lot?
I'm thinking Shimano BB70, which is a 68/73mm to go with the SLX Hollowtech 2 Crankset.
Is there anything else I need to be aware of with the upgrade?
Thanks!

HT 2 cranksets come with BB cups as standard. and they will fit either width.
just get the BB shell faced."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
