Now I know the answer should be 'yes' as both are Shimano hollowtech compatible

But when I use the Hope BB it seems to have more resistance when I torque it to 45-50nm than when I use a HT2 or raceface type X.

If I don't tighten the preload bolt up to 50nm I find it coming loose? Is this common with Raceface cranks?

Out of interest I did some searching and removed one of the small 1mm spacers which sits within the drive side where it meets the BB.

I can now tighten fully and still spins freely now. I'll see over the next few rides.
