after some help if poss, i have a 2012 truvativ descendant chainset and the bb has died after just 2 months and was wondering if an xt bb was compatable because in my experience they have normally proven to be quite reliable, thanks in advance.

I've had GXP BBs in the past and on my current bike... They are made of cheese and fail every 3 to 4 months in my experience. My previous bike had a Shimano BB and never needed replacing. As far as I know you can't use a Shimano BB with a SRAM crank, however Hope and Chris King BBs can be use with an adapter.
