Sram Truative crank MTB Help

Hello! I wonder if anyone can help please.

I have an issue with a sram Truative MTB Crank and GXP non drive side bearing cup.

The non drive side bearing cup has a smaller hole right? so the axle does not go all the way through as the Truative axle starts to cone and get larger towards the centre.

Is there anything i can do about this? i have about 2mm of axle showing on the drive side.
I can still tighten the non drive side with the crank on and it is smooth.

are there any options?? (besides getting a shimano zee crankset)

Thank you

Put a spacer in between the drive side cup and the BB shell. Should be one in the pack.

Thanks i have and its left about 1mm gap now, However i cant put anymore in due to thread in the cup.

I am a little worried about the chain line? Will this be affected?

The space is part of the design. The ds cup/bearing doesn't take axial loads, only radial. All the axial stuff goes through the nds bearing which is why GXP bbs don't last as long.

That said, that's a shit lot more than a 2mm gap in the photo. That isn't how its sitting is it?

If it’s out - and it will only be out if the bb shell isn’t to spec - you can move it inboard by spacing out the NDS cup.

1mm will be fine though. Could always put a wave washer in it.

I think is 2 spacers, one at each side for a 68mm shell and MTB 73mm cranks. I don't remember ever using spacers or wavy washers in the spindle of threaded GXP bottom brackets, only on pressfit.
Reading the manuals it's always a good place to start https://www.sram.com/en/service/models/bb-gxp-a1
