Replacing the bottom bracket on the Trance X2 along with a whole heap of other maintenance.

I don't seem to be able to get the current BB from wiggle which is an SM-BB70

I can get a XT/SLXM770/M660

Is this OK?

My bike is standard as per :

I do believe it will fit as they're both to suit a 68/73mm BB. Don't quote me though, lol.

I put a HOPE SS BB in my 2009 Trance X after 2009 Capital Punishment as well as one in my sons 2007 Reign
so its OK with both Shimano Hollowtech and Race Face cranksets.
Bit heavier than the Shimano one in the Trance, but its still great 1800Km later.

Just another option.
