Right but if they’re discontinuing 24/22mm axles, they must think the bearings are a non issue.
Or at least worth the compromise for the sake of weight (and manufacturing cost and ease of a single axle standard vs 2)
PhilDAS-
don’t think gxp with it’s 24/22mm steel axle is going anywhere. It was always positioned as a heavier, more affordable option to their 30mm offerings. They’ll probably just limit gxp crank options to entry and mid-level options.
Dub is replacement for their 30mm axle cranks moving forward. Any of their more recent premium cranks are only offered with dub axles. They can just get away with just carrying a handful of 30mm bb’s to support the 30mm cranks already in the marketplace

Yep, smallest they could go whilst keeping the alloy axle
