I'm wondering whether I need to buy GXP cups to run my new noir chainset or whether it will be OK to run with my XT/SLX shimano BB? I think it'll be all right but I want to double check with the assembled wisdom.
Thanks

Thank you. New cups it is then.
Are GXP ones OK or any recommendations on others?Evans Cycles have a terrific deal on the Noir chainsets at the mo.

Hope do an adaptor that enables you to use their BBs with GXP chainsets. The Truvativ GXP BBs have a reputation for being made of cheese, so I went with Hope when I got mine. Look up the Hope installation video when you fit it, they're different from normal BBs and you can cause damage to your nice new kit if you get it wrong.
