Hi have a truvative stylo gxp chainset and am fed up with having to replace the BB so often. However i'm a bit skint at the mo so cant afford a poncy ceremic one or anything like that. Has anyone had experiance with the gusset ext24 BB it would look so good on my bike in red:-). Also is it compatible with the above crank?

    Really your only other option i think is hope with GXP adaptor... which is expensive...

    or talk to BETD about a bearing change in your cups.

    How many miles are you getting out of your Truv. GXP? I was a bit hacked off with my last Truvativ GXP as it didn't last at all - but the one I'm running at the moment (touch wood) has seen dogs abuse for over a year and has no play... yet.

    But next time it'll probably be a Hope with GXP converters. 8) But that is a bit more costly.
