My SRAM GXP BB was replaced under warranty about 6 weeks ago. Last week I noticed it was starting to grind a little again. Although I had a broken spoke and a slightly baggy wheel at the time so wasn't sure it was the BB.

Got the wheel fixed today and took the cranks off for a look at the bearings. Completely dry both of them! Now I know that they recommend that they are regressed every 40 hours but this seems ridiculous.

So, long winded way of asking, what are people replacing those with.....Chris King? hope bearing conversions? Something else? Or are you just putting up with it and regreasing regularly ?

It's not just my bike either, OH's bike exactly the same when we stripped it down.

Hope with GXP Conversion (file a small slot into one of them for easier removal.

I fitted another gpx, cheap enough to change every 12 months
