But a GXP BB has a smaller bearing diameter at the non-drive end, I think. I recently converted a hope BB for hollowtech to GXP with a small shim that sits inside the non-drive bearing that the GXP spindle pushes against.
It's a fucking pain, all these non-standards. Buy more shit, throw it away more.

Yep. This is why whatever cranks I have don't fit through the new BB I bought even though the old BB had GXP written on it, the cranks were actually 24/24mm whereas the new GXP BB I bought is 22/24mm.

The thing that confuses me the most is that I have an old GXP BB that is 24/24mm, which ISN'T the GXP standard, as far as I know.
hippy
What 104mm bcd cranks can I get that will work with the GXP BB I have?
Actually, Hollowtech II BB are 24mm right? So could I just buy a Hollowtech BB for whatever stupid cranks I have now?
I seem to have a large combination of parts, none of which work together.
