SRAM BB GXP Team Cups English Thread Including Bearings 73/68

Super afforable, easy to install and it's very quite and no issues. Just make sure you follow torque specs when installing. Good luck!

I was considering getting a Chris King or Phil Wood bottom bracket, but then realized how stupid that was.Why spend 4-5 times the amount for something that I have never had a durability problem with.Yes I replace my BB every 2-3 years; but even so I can get 8-12 years of replacements for the cost of a Chris King or Phil Wood. (Besides the Chris King needs regular maintenance).This newer model from SRAM/TruVativ has a much improved appearance, duplicating the curved bearing cup look found on the Kings and Woods.Easily installed. Use a torque wrench to make sure you get it on tight enough. Install and forget. Repeat every 2-3 years as needed.I have 4 bikes, this BB is on all of them.(I ride 80 mile per week on my road bike, 20 miles per week on my singlespeed MTB, I rarely ride the remaining two)

Bought this to replace a creaky old bottom bracket on my Fuji and it made a world of difference. Much quieter, smoother ride, and much less effort to get up to speed.

Great BB for a great price. I have been fixing bikes through the pandemic and there are so many solid and high end cranksets that use GXP sized bottom brackets. I just decided to buy a brand new one here on Amazon because everyone else is either selling this used for the same price as a new one. And some of the used ones have bad bearings - save money - buy this new and be done with it.

Nice fitting BB, but the tighter the crankset bolt got with my SRAM 53/39T double ring crankset, the more resistance was felt! When the bolt was tighten completely down, there was NO movement of the crankset. I did not feel safe leaving the bolt too loose just to be able to pedal and not have too much resistance. I felt that was not a option for me, so I ended up getting a Shimano BB. I'm not sure if it was only me to experience this issue or not, but I figured a SRAM BB would work well with a SRAM crankset. I may have figured wrong.

I have had my mountain bike (2012 Niner Jet 9) for about 8 years and never touched the bottom bracket, so it was time. I pulled out the old one and it was filled with dirt and grime. Actually initially bought the wrong bottom bracket. I have Truvativ cranks, so had to return that one and buy this one that is the GXP style.. Fits my bike and my cranks...that’s important. Came with spacers on each side. Install was a snap. Bike is as good as new!

Perfect bottom bracket for the Airborne Seeker 29er with both spacers since the Seeker in 68mm. Be sure to measure the width of your frame shell. If 68mm, use both spacers. If 73mm, don't use the spacers. Use the 'Park Tool 16 Notch Bottom Bracket Tool' to remove replace this BB. On either side, place the tool on and point your wrench toward the front wheel and push down. To put it on, point toward front wheel and pull up. This trick works for both sides.

This is a perfect OEM drop in replacement for my original Gary Fisher MB. This version with English cups is a bit stiffer with an overall smooth feel. A strong GXP design for $30. My bike felt better than when I took it out of the bike shop for the first time. Consider replacing the chain, chain rings and derailuer pulleys when getting this, chances are you probably need them like I did. I originally just got a new chain and bottom bracket but needed to rebuild the whole drive train.
