I tried to look on the Evil site to see if that BB would fit but my phone does not support Java. So based off what the original poster was asking it sounds like you need a euro BB the link you posted the shadow is available in a Euro BB so yes but make sure you get the Euro not the MID BB that is pictured.

Most bmx frames have bottom bracket shells made for "mid" or "Spanish" bottom bracket. Some bmx race frames use "euro."

Both Profile and Odyssey make euro bottom brackets for bmx frames. Look at empirebmx.com, Albes.com, etc.

Now, the difference with Mtb euro is that the bottom bracket shell of the frame is wider. You can still use an Odyssey or Profile bmx bb, BUT the tube spacer will not be the correct one for a wider Mtb shell (73mm), rather than 68mm.

The other issue is that because both the bb shell and the chainstays are wider on an Mtb (because the rear wheel is 135mm spaced I stead of 110mm with Bmx), you have to run a 6" spindle rather than 5.75.

On my Blackmarket Mob, I run bmx Profile crank arms, a Profile 6" hollow spindle, an Odyssey bmx euro bb, and a tube spacer from a local bike shop. Sorry I don't remember right off what width that tube spacer is... Maybe 53mm instead of 48mm ??
