    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!

    My RaceFace BB lasted about 5 months. Now on a Hope one. Fitted it about 2 months ago and all good so far.
