Just picked up a nice Carbon Merida race mtb frame. Already has a raceface bottom bracket fitted (outside fitting). Do I have to use a Race Face chainset with that bottom bracket? I really fancied an XTR chainset but also like the Race Face Deus xc chainset too.

if you buy an xtr chainset, it will come with an external BB.

I had a RaceFace crank with the horrid ISIS BB, BB lasted 3 months, 6 months and the last I annihilated by not replacing it when it felt wrong after a month.

Eventually went for the XTR Chainset, then found out how much the rings cost! If you keep an eye out you can get the rings for £40ish. Feels soo much better, shifting and flex, but I did only have the Evolve.
