Giant XTC Btm Brkt - which size / upgrade
I think i may need to replace my bottom bracket (serious creaking!) on my Giant XTC se but i have no idea which size and what type to get,
generally when something breaks i try to upgrade, but just read Zinn and im more confused,
has anyone on here replaced the BB on this bike or similar and can recommend the correct size and reasonable upgrade,
my LBS fits internet bought components so i might be able save cash this way, if i know what to get !

well what are you planing on doing?
if ISIS then it does not matter they tend to fit both. powerspline bin it. and buy a HT2 crankset.

should be an ISIS bb should be 68mm and 113mm axel. but as most ISIS bb's fit both 68 and 73mm it does not matter what you get.
