Does anyone have the sizes needed to replace the bearings in Truvativ GXP Bottom Bracket cups.

I have ordered a new BB but I want to put new bearings in theses cups and keep them as a spare as GXP bearings seem to have a life measured in weeks not months.

    they are (or can) be the same as the HT2 and race face ones but use a reducer for the non drive side.

    I would get a kit from the above (i believe CRC do them) as you will also get the reducer and the correct spacers.

    Thanks for that unfortunately CRC only do the ceramic bearing replacement kit £92 :shock:

    Clicked the link $20 but when you checkout its $26.50 delivery not sure $46.50 is worth it will have a nose on ebay

    That's helpful to know.

    I've just ordered a new 'GXP' bottom bracket (with Firex crankset) for £47.00! :shock: I needed a new bb, and the average price was approx. £22.00, so it's a bit of a deal to get the bb and crankset for £47.00.

    Thanks for this information, as it is a good way to keeping a spare handy!

    The bearings that BETD fit are made by Enduro so hopefully will last longer than the 3 months the originals lasted. This is the page
