Truvativ Stylo 1.1 crankset

I have a Truvativ Stylo 1.1 singlespeed crankset on my bike. My bike has a 73mm bottom bracket shell. Can I put the crankset on another bike with a 68mm bottom bracket shell?

Unless the chainstay really bows out, I dont think you will have any issues.

Ok, thanks. I was just worried that I might need a conversion kit or something. Also, what about the tool to romove it and put it back on?

You'll need two 2.5mm spacers for a 68mm BB shell (one on each side between shell and BB cups).

Park Tool BBT-9 or BBT-19 is the tool you need

According to what I find on the Truvativ instructions you need a 8mm, 16mm (5/8) Hex Keys, and a External style Bottom Bracket Wrench (Hollowtech II, Truvativ GXP).

EDIT: You will actually need to either get a 73mm BB or a 68MM that will allow 1 spacer per side to bring it out to 73mm.
