Currently I am running a 06 truvativ stylo crankset with truvativ external BB. I've only put about 6 months of use on this BB so it should still have plenty of life left in it.
I have however ordered an 08 XT crankset and Im just wondering whether I need to use the BB which came with it, or if the cranks will fit into the truvativ BB which is already there? I hear the XT BBs have better bearings/seals/whatever over the truvativ ones, but I'd rather wear out the existing BB before putting in the XT one.
Thanks for your help.
