Are Hollow Tech II Bottom Bracket Cranksets compatible with my square tapered?
First thing to check is if the chainrings on your current crank are removable. If they are, you can replace the rings and not have to worry about investing money in a new crank. If they aren't replaceable, look for a square taper crank. They're a dime a dozen if you can find them Fleabay might be your best bet.
Although you probably can't beat this
