So I need a new BB, I can replace the SRAM team GXP one for about £25 but i wondered if a deore HTII with an adaptor off ebay works better?

Any real world experience of the HTII and adaptor way? i think the Deore HTII BB would be a bit more durable?

Thanks

Personally, I use Praxis GXP BBs (M24 for BB86/BB92) on my son's MTB and they are superb by comparison to SRAM's (shockingly bad) OEM ones. Well over a year on the current one and still going strong, whereas I was getting through two OEM ones per year previously.

Wheels Manufacturing BB last a lot longer than GP. & replace the stupid top hat with the proper size bearing.
