I have been given some Amazon vouchers from work and need to spend them as they are burning a hole in my pocket.
I have a set of M970 (Now converted to look like Jones cranks) and I need a BB. Do all Shimano HT2 cranks have the same diameter axle? Will both of these BBs work? What would be the advantage of one over the other?

Cheers in advance.

Come on someone must be able to help me...
Your first link takes me to my basket.
If it is an MTB bracket then it doesn't matter what level it is, it will work.
Any HTII BB will work (Shimano, Hope, CK, RF, etc.). The XT/SLX has better seals (front and back) than the Deore.
Buy it from rose bikes for half the price of amazon (incl delivery) & spend your vouchers on something else.
