[Closed] BB advice needed - hoping to buy once despite upgrades.

Hi, my bottom bracket sounds like it has broken into bits, if it does need replacing I would like the new one to work with my current and planned upgrade chainset.

Frame = Pipedream Sirius (73 mm bottom bracket shell)
Current Chainset = Truvativ Blaze 2x9 Chain Set With Truvativ Powerspline BB
Possible Upgrade Chainset = Shimano XT 2x10
Intended BB = Hope Bottom Bracket MTB 73mm

I'm aware of the existence of a Hope Bottom Bracket Truvativ GXP Converter but don't know if this applies to mine. Is the 'powerspline' bit a problem?

I'm basically asking if I can use the Hope BB (with or without the converters) now and use the same BB with the XT chinset?

Thanks in advance.

Hope converter won't work with the Truvativ powespline, only with Truvativ GXPs

Your XT Chainset will come with a BB included.
