hope with hope gxp adapters. with that you got the spindle fitted properly on metal, not plastic. plus you can adjust chainline via bb spacers for few millimeters...

or (not recommended) buy some shitty ceramic bb from taiwan via ebay, wait 1 month for it and then be disappointed because you can't get them fit tightly because the plastic cover inside the bearing is few 1/10 mm too loose.

and the buy the hope...

I've got the Hope with the Truvativ/GXP adaptors on a roadbike. Spendy, but good quality. Not sure about spacing it out for chainline....mine was very fussy, they provided spacers but I had to get the right combination to avoid either play in the cranks or binding.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
