Hi, my RaceFace XC is dead, can anyone advise what size bb I should order as a replacement on my bike or is there only one?

Also, can I use the shimano hollowtech tools to extract and fit this one?

you can use any shimano/fsa/raceface/hope/chris king/supershite components EXTERNAL BB. Just put the spacers back in the same order.

get yourself a Hope stainless steel bearing BB... fantastic! - the best bit is that every few months you can simply and easily re-lube the bearings, thus extending the life of the BB indefinitely.
