Hi,
Could anyone please confirm if this will fit a BSA 73 BB shell?

    Depends on the crankset. A Shimano MTB HT2 crankset will, a road one won't. Be more specific.

    That will work with the BB... However, it also has large chainrings. Some MTB frames can have limited clearance for chainrings, so you'd want to check that you have enough of a gap to the chainstays depending on what frame you have.

    That's a trekking crankset there, 48tooth largest chain ring might cause issues with the frame you want to use it on.

    What bike do you have?

    A lot of frames are now designed for 1x or 2x drivetrains and so only have clearance for chain rings up to about 38tooth

    I'm speaking from a mountain bike side of things, road frames are different but given you mention bsa 73mm I think you must mean mountain bike?
