Bottom bracket advice

[mtbchick]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone could help me out. I have a Marin quad trail and i have just had the bearings replaced. Whilst at the shop the guy said that the Bottom Bracket needed replacing but he couldn't get hold of one. He just said I need to make sure it's a FSA hollow tech and not a Shimano one.
I know very little about bikes yet as I am only just getting into MBT and I only bought the bike from a colleague end of last year.
I have looked online and there seems to be loads of FSA ones
Can you recommend any?
Thanks

I have one of these:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gub-C68-CNC-machined-bottom-bracket-68-73mm-Shimano-FSA-24mm-Hollowtech-II-/181233909569?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item2a3261ff41

It has lasted a long time and just replace the bearings when worn,Shimano and FSA hollowtech cups are interchangeable.

Brilliant, thank you.
I wasn't sure if if they were interchangeable or not as the guy that replaced my bearings just said to make sure it wasn't a shimano one.
Thanks for your help

All hollowtech are same I think :-\ I put a shimano saint bb in my quad trail and does the job :-D

Thanks Chris, I went for a FSA one and it seems to be doing the trick :-)
