MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So, stock GXP BB on my Bontrager (Truvativ) crankset is deceased (well, not for off...)
What to replace it with?
Seems the options are short - pretty much replace it with what's there for £23'ish notes or am I missing other options?

You can get a Hope one with inserts I think
Or any other one with the inserts should work.
I'm sure someone will be along to confirm in a minute
Cheers Steve - had hoped that I would not have to go with 'stock' replacement as, being honest, the original has not seen that much action so not too happy to see it go....
*goes off to look up 'inserts' on the hope site...*
I splashed £50 on an Acros last August bank holiday which ahs been sweet as a nut, apart from a bearing service in the spring.
Cheers pieface - looked them up and it seems Wheelspin are the UK suppliers and they are on my route to work - well, they are tomorrow... 😉
acros for me simply brillaint.also the guys at balfa are top people.
also using a hope but its only weeks old & came fitted to the new bike.
Wheelspin are indeed a large Acros stockist but are not the UK supplier.
Unfortunately Acros do not yet make a Truvativ compatable BB. It is in development but due to the pants over excessive way the Truvativ crank clamps up, they arent happy with the bearing life it's giving out. Its a common problem with all Truvativ cranks & they want to be 100% sure they can still offer the same 2 year bearing guarantee in this as all the other BB's.
