Im building up a CX bike that has the BB86 bottom bracket setup.

I'm an MTB racer and have many MTB cranks with chain rings.
I know the standard BB86 is setup for Shimano and runs their cranksets and from what I have gathered if I wanted to run SRAM/Truvativ Cranks I would need to get the GXP BB86/91 bottom bracket setup.

Anyways I have a Truvativ MTB Stylo crankset which I had to space the stock BB86 non-drive side out with extra spacers to make it work. I really don't want to run it long in this setup because I think it may damage the frame after awhile so I want to get this fixed properly.

From what I can gather is that the MTB crank axle length are a little longer than the Road crank axles.

I want to find out if buying the BB86/91 SRAM GXP BB would allow me to run my MTB crankset on the BB86 frameset instead of me buying a whole new crankset and BB for the bike.

Has anyone out there gone through this same scenario? trying to run MTB cranks with BB86 setup.
I think I'm going to have to get the SRAM GXP BB and just use some spacer on the axle to fill in.

You aren't going to have chainring clearance with MTB stuff, unfortunately.

I have the tabs for the small ring cut off on my cranks so that is does clear. I'm wanting to run just a single ring in front but need to figure out a way to correct the bottom bracket.
