Currently running an Evolve XC cset and have been using the X Type bottom brackets so far but they dont last long.

Can i use a Deore one instead without any issues or a Token one??

X-type BBs are interchangeable / compatible with Hollowtech 2 ones..

Presumably it's the bearings that are failing? You could just change the bearings for better ones...

last time I looked the RF BBs use 6805 bearings which are available separately (see FAG, INA, SKF on ebay etc.). Just be careful removing the placky top hats, although CRC has them if you aren't.

+1 any Shimano, Hope, Acros, CK et al will be compatible.
