2011 Demo 8 bb question?

This could possibly go in the Speshy forum but I will get better answers here. I bought the RaceFace evolve DH cranks with 83mm bb. After figuring out you need an adapter I bought this off pricepoint: Truvativ BB Shell Adapter Kit PF30-BSA. I'm hoping that should do it or do I need yet another adapter?

If this doesn't look like it would work what is the easiest bb/crank whatever setup? I just want to get my bike on the trails!

The 83mm bb should thread into the press fit plastic adapters that came with your frame. I had that set up for a while with Saint Cranks, but eventually switched to the e13 pf30 BB/lg1+ cranks due to creaking issues. The e13 set-up works very well. Be careful when threading the BB into the plastic adapters, they strip easily.

I remember reading somewhere that race face cranks are only compatible with their bb, so you may be out of luck with the Truvativ adapter.
