Hi folks,
I've read in a few places that Truvativ GXP external bottom brackets use different bearings to Shimano/Race Face/FSA, and hence the BB units are interchangeable. However, I'm yet to find the details of how - or why - they differ.
Does anyone know what the difference is? Are they truly non-interchangeable? I have Truvativ GXP setups on two bikes, one BB is going fine but I seem to have killed the other rather quickly - though Belgian mud undoubtedly helped.
Cheers, Gareth.
