Howitzer BB questions

[SubPlop]

1) Will it work on a 2005 Norco Six...I have heard issues about certain BB's not working on certain frames due to pivot widths and locations and whatnot?

2) Will it still work if I want to run a 22T ring, an inner bashguard, a 32T ring, and an outer bashguard?

4) Will it work with some RaceFace Prodigy DH ISIS cranks? They're just normal ISIS cranks like Hussefelts or Dirtys. They don't have the "special Howitzer interface"...I'm not even sure if there is such a thing because I took a good look at a Howitzer BB and the crank interface appears NO DIFFERENT than a regular ISIS BB such as a GigaPipe. If anybody with 2006 Hussefelts or Holzfellers or Big Earl or King Earl HOWITZER cranks has a pic of the backside of the crank where it attaches to the BB, I'd like to see!

The Howitzer cranks are backspaced (I don't know if that the best description) to fit the wide BB. If you put regular ISIS cranks on your would end up with a super wide crank spacing (Q-factor).

Actually I think the ISIS spline section may be narrower also so it might not work at all.

I'm not sure about your other questions.

2005 and before Truvativ cranks are NOT compatible with the Howitzer BB. So I'd assume other brand cranks wouldn't work either. Which I'm pretty pissed about because I have a brand new pair of 05 Holzfeller cranks.

howizter b.b specific to new Truvativ cranks, so no ISIS isn't compatible
