Had to take the cranks off the soda today... The bike's been ridden 5 times since i fitted the cranks, twice in the wet and once in the snow. Rust on the inner races, dirty water in the bearings, water inside the tube in the middle (but none at all in the BB shell- so pretty sure it's come in via the BB rather than via the seat-tube.). Driveside gritty 🙁 And this is the latest version. Christ you suck at this Truvativ...

Hope and a converter is the answer

Aye. Or might lash up a convertor for something else. Also may firebomb SRAM.

Hope and converter, for me
SRAM ones are utter rubbish

Uberbikes and token, via uk bike store, do gxp alternatives.
superstar also do one, but reviews are not good. Description and thought process behind it seem good though.

Yeah, the Token one I have seems like it'll be pretty easily converted... Will ride this one into the ground first, that ought to take several more miles.
