Hi,

I am looking for a little advice on choosing a botom bracket please.

I'm going to have a crack at swapping out my nackered bottom bracket on my Stumpjumper but I have hit a bit of a dead end choosing a replacement part. My bike is this one:

The bottom bracket is listed as a custom Specialized M542.

Can I just replace it with this?

They look very similar. Otherwise does anyone know where to get the Specialized parts?

Thanks for any help!

Don't know what happened with the links there!

My bike is this one:

and I was wondering if this BB will fit:

Thanks!
