but what im finding very difficult is to find out if i can use a shimano BB (complete or just the cups) on the raceface crank that ive got.
68mm english thread
any help out there?
Yes, you can.
anybody else find the raceface x-type BB pretty crap?
Yes, they are.
Best and cheapest: replace the stock bearings with the Enduro stuff. Easy to do. The newer bearing I.D. is such that you don't need to use the crappy little spacer shims form the Race Face setup.
