[Closed] Truvativ noir chainset - will it work with shimano external BB?

I'm wondering whether I need to buy GXP cups to run my new noir chainset or whether it will be OK to run with my XT/SLX shimano BB? I think it'll be all right but I want to double check with the assembled wisdom.

Thanks

Rich

Thank you. New cups it is then.
Are GXP ones OK or any recommendations on others?

Evans Cycles have a terrific deal on the Noir chainsets at the mo.

Hope do an [url= http://is.gd/Rp34uh ]adaptor[/url] that enables you to use their BBs with GXP chainsets. The Truvativ GXP BBs have a reputation for being made of cheese, so I went with Hope when I got mine. Look up the [url=

installation video[/url] when you fit it, they're different from normal BBs and you can cause damage to your nice new kit if you get it wrong.
