  • I'm growing tired of gxp bb on my do everything bike. Its a second time i need to replace that in 3 years. And I'm not agressive or fast rider. Also bike is always stored indoors. So while I have deore bb52 and adapter coming in mail some time January, I can't help but wonder if I'm better off just sticking square tapper bb in there (a la un55) and some old mtb crankset. Provided I'd use it with 32-38t narrow-wide, any recommendations on cranks? Cheaper is better, but quality is pretty important.

    If you're doing a fair bit of everything, annual BB replacement isn't that much of a chore or expense. HT2 might last a little longer, or maybe not. I wouldn't go back to square taper.
