Truativ GXP Axle lengh
Well i bought the Elita GXP compact cranks and bb off ebay. Tryin to put them on a GT Avalanche 2.0 the cranks rub on both stays 
, i cant space the bb out cause the axle is not long nuf. Is this as simple as getting a longer axle (can they be changed?) and spacing out the bb or is this a case of back on ebay they go and me getting something else. Any help would be appricated.
Thanks

Could you be using a crank that's designed for a 68mm bottom bracket on a bike that has a 73mm bottom bracket?

This is quite the possibilty. It was my line of thinking, thats y i wanted to know if the axles are interchangeable, so i can just change it and space out the bb instead of buyin a whole new setup.
