It's not taken me long to destroy it so does anyone have recommendations for an upgrade - Chris King etc worth the extra?

I think hope do GXP converters so you can run on Hope BBs.
They don't work very well on Shimano BBs something to do with the top hats or seals on the Shimano BBs.

SRAM is 24/22mm. Shimano is 24/24mm.
This has all been asked before here.

For every fail, there's a story of success. Get it installed well to begin with.

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:

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.
