race face X-type BB's are the same size as the shimano HTII type so you can swap in a Hope, Shimano, CK, Superstar(?) etc.

Truvativ have a different size so you can't swap in one of those.

what jonv said

Just get a mtb shimano, as the road ones are slightly different. Acros is fine too.

Sram is the same as truvativ, so avoid those.
