I have a BB 30mm axle and was wondering if I can change the axle to a 24mm one so I could have better bearings in BB. If so where would I buy one .

Nope. Best bet would be to change to something like the Aeffect crank, which is pretty cheap, pretty light, has a 24mm spindle and would allow you to keep the nifty direct mount ring.
****, will try some hope bearings first see if they will last a bit longer.

I ran an e13 BB with my turbines (bb92 30mm) and found it to be pretty good. Not cheap, but good quality.
I found the bearings were a bit deeper in the frame, which I assume stopped the crank rocking so hard on the bearings, helping em last a bit longer.
The outer diameter was slightly different so I had to mess around with a couple of thin washers just to ensure they would preload properly, but after a small amount of fiddling they went on perfectly and lasted ages!
Cheers
Ha! My e13bb was rubbish! It lasted 3 months. In the summer! So badly sealed 🙁
Anyone using Hope pf41 ???
Had a hope one for a year and it’s been fit and forget so far
My RaceFace BB lasted about 5 months. Now on a Hope one. Fitted it about 2 months ago and all good so far.
+1 for hope. race faces have a notoriously bad reputation.
e13 BB .... and found it to be pretty good
News shocker for a Friday morning.
