Building a new hardtail (Santa Cruz Highball) with second hand frame, it comes with a Hope BB threaded BB, trawling the various internet sites found a 12 speed SLX groupset minus brakes and BB for a fair price, i've not built a new bike for a while, and previous ones have been 10/11 speed as i already had parts.

Are the new 12 speed Cranks compatible? Guessing they probably are, but knowing my luck i'll order it only to find, everything has changed with 12 speed?

Anyone running that groupset, find it OK?

Yes, they are Hollowtech 2 cranks, so that's the BB you need.
