I am probably going to buy a Sram road chainset - are the Truvativ and Sram GXP cups the same, and are the chainrings the same, whether advertised as Truvativ or Sram?
Also, do these bottom brackets have a normal life expectancy, without having to replace them after a short while?
Many thanks

    Essentially "YES" to all your questions.

    the sram gutter seal bearings are a response to friction and longevity gripes.

    yea the gutter seal bb is a good and will fit, as where to the life of the bb time will tell because the older style wasnt the best

    good place for the chainset
