    I want to buy some bits from CRC including a Deore chainset but they're out of stock of Deore and XT/SLX BB cups…
    Are all HT II cups the same? Can I order Tiagra cups (or even non Shimano) or will that not work?

    Cheers!

    Road ones are different to Mtb ones (at least the current ones are – IIRC original road ones worked with original XTR HT2)

    Yup different – I think the widths are different? i.e. sl different axle lengths, chainlines and therefore BB cup width?

    Hmm, but XT/SLX is compatible with Deore right?

    I can get the same stuff from Merlin and they have XT cups in stock..:-)

    Why has nobody pointed out that if the OP is buying a Deore HT2 chinset, it will be supplied with a BB and he doesn't need to get one seperately? 🙂

    😳 Yeh got a point PP – however if its OEM it may not come with one?
