• Annoyingly this build is dead in the water till I can swallow my pride and buy another crankset/bb combo to fit.

    I forgot about the difference in BB shell width between BSA and ITA, and thus the spindle of my (SRAM GXP) cranks is too short and so the cranks can't be tightened without nipping the bearings.

    Trying to find a GXP crankset compatible with a 70mm shell is infuriating, to the point that I'm starting to question their existence and wonder why SRAM are still making/selling this BB

  • That did cross my mind but thought it would be weird as I'd end up with some kind of GB/ITA frankenstein BB shell.

    Although I suppose that's only a problem if I (or any future owners) are allergic to spacing a different bb if required.

    It's very tempting as the cheap option though
