Something like this

Although they don't seem to meet the quietness requirements of some.

eBay the gxp, get a 30mm crank.

I should just do this really. GXP ones sell for more than bb30 too. I'm just lazy

^^ is the correct answer

I've been really happy with these for 24mm crankset on my caad12. No noise. Just got to get spacers correct

I've got some of those wheels MFG shims in my caad10 at the moment. so far they are quiet and work well.

I know nothing about bb30, I have another frame now with bb30 bearings in too, this one will get bb30 cranks, sram red22 probably. Any spacers or fancy washers needed or just bolt that sucker on?

Bearing shields, wavy washer, 1mm spacers usually

Buys Park Tool bb30 tools and new bearings.

Removes cranks, taps out bearings, removes circlips. Cleans BB shell, greased surfaces re inserts pingfuckitclips, presses bearings.

Cleans cranks, and then discovers Power2max spider was loose.

FML.

Though one extracted bearing was a little gritty.

Sounds like it needed doing anyway.

Trail SL now with slammed stem and fox forks, Si Cranks next.

Anyone got one of these spiders going spare?

I've got two mtb spiders so yeah, probably

Excellent, I had hoped you would, but one doesn't like to assume. Could you help me swap the spider too please? As I no longer have the tools.

When do you need to do it? I'm away next week but after that sure.

I have to wait for the 73mm Race Face axle and Hope BB to come back into stock so im in no rush, that would be fine thanks. Also how much do you want for the spider btw?

Ah I wondered what axle you were going to use.i also have the hope BB tool...

I'm probably never going to need the spider so it's yours - if I have the one you need.

What BCD is that?

I think it was you who said that axle will work? Not sure what spacers I'll need with the Hope BB, but its good to know you have the tool, maybe i'll do the whole swap with you if that ok? The spider in the pic is 104 BCD but it doesn't have to be that, just something I can easily get narrow wide rings for. I will bring beer as appeasement

I could do with some measurements and/or side-on pics of the 104 spider.

Need to know how far inboard of the crank mounting surface the two sides of the spider tabs are.

love it spotter

xx

I think it was you who said that axle will work?

Someone posted about the differences between the two types of cranks then someone did a whole list of compatible axles - was it @Emyr?

i'll do the whole swap with you if that ok?

Yeah that's cool. The Hope 30mm uses a completely different tool to the 24mm outboards and even if you spend £200 on their cranks and BB they don't bundle it in for free!
