Buy another SRAM BB and this time grease it up after after every 6 months, it'll last you forever:

Not really. Chris King probably do one.
The SRAM bbs have no preload. The crank arm bolt effectively puts preload on, which (imho) is a bit shit. At least they are cheap.

Boring question: is there a decent alternative to the GXP bottom bracket that comes with SRAM Omniums? Looking to replace mine, it didn't seem to last that long. Less than a year, although admittedly quite a lot of miles in all sorts of weather when I used to work for Deliveroo.
Also, might replace the chainring whilst I'm at it. Any suggestions for something decent in 144bcd, 46ish teeth and probably black? (Unless anyone has compelling evidence that black omniums can look good with silver chainrings).
