Yes any shimano HT2 BB will be ok as will Hope, chris king etc. You can replace the bearings too if your into that.

you can replace the bearings in the x type BB?

Yep just knock the old ones out with a drift and press new 6805 bearings in with a headset press or homemade press with the old bearings as guides simples.
