snottyotter-
Yeah, and that's great. Still doesn't explain why some after market BBs don't fit all combination of GXP crankset/shell when most do. I've got SRAM and hope on other bikes...no bother.
Also, booking my bike in, dropping it off, waiting for it to be done and collecting it would take me quite a bit more time than 30 mins...but granted, I wouldn't be covered in grease.

Must be it. Will try it with no spacer, but am relatively resigned to it not working...I do have another bike running gxp mountain bike cranks, so it will come in eventually.
Just so frustrating when you think...ah, quick change of BB, ten mins tops...and half an hour later you're swearing at it, covered in grease and have a bike that works less than when you started.
