Righty, need some advice from someone more bike beardy than myself.

Dialled PA, 73mm BB currently running a raceface BB with Atlas cranks.

Unsurprisingly the BB has gone all grindy and I need to replace. Am I right in thinking that this is HTII and any options along those lines will fit?

(I've had the superstar option on my old enduro and that was fine so thinking of going down the same tight-assed route)

Can someone confirm, mouse finger getting itchy...

Any HT2 compatible BB will fit. I just replaced my Atlas X-type BB with Saint.

EDIT pardon for repeating you scruff; we were typing at the same time.

Yes; Shimano, RaceFace, Hope, CK, Superstar... all compatible.

You can always send your old cups to sideways and have phil wood bearings fitted. Mine lasted about 3yrs

@P20-

How much does sideways charge for this?

Cheers

Enduro do a bearing upgrade for x type, chuck away the plastic spacers and use a bigger bearing etc...
