Got a shimano crankset with a hope bb on my Pace, and am looking at Noir Cranks, but are they compatible with the bb?

Cheers

Looks like they don't fit, the Noir uses a GXP BB, which has a larger internal diameter.

You can however handily buy some adaptors from Hope to get round this.

I've just set up that combination with the spacer above. Works fine, there is a video on the hope website explaining how to set them up.
