They fit but can sometimes be quite tight. Also when you're installing the non drive crank arm, keep going as it takes a while and a fair bit of force to get it on all the way.

From watching a mechanic previously struggle to get the cranks on with the Miche BB, this issue might be irrespective of what one you use/choose.

I arrived here via a search on installation of the Pistard 2.0. I'm using an brand new Ultegra Hollowtech II BB and did have to coax the DS spindle in with a rubber mallet. The only EVO Max BBs I could find were not located in the US (where I am) and much more expensive than a HTII. But, it looks like the EVO Max BB uses a "compensator ring" between the DS bearing and shell. I may install a spacer here because as it sits the chain ring shelf clears the DS chain stay by about 1mm, perhaps less. Steel Gunnar Street Dog frame so I'd think flex when climbing standing or sprinting is going to happen.
Anyhow, this NDS spindle is requiring a lot of force to go on. So, I stopped pushing the issue and arrived here in searching for similar experiences. Everything is well greased, but the steel spindle is deforming the female splines on the aluminum NDS spindle.

Just to check, these cranks 100% ok with Hollowtech II BB's? All the marketting literature I can find specifies only Miche, and their upgraded supertype BB's are like the unicorn
