As I've said before, I think the GXP system is fine for geared road bikes but can't withstand the pressure put on it from both directions when being used on a fixed gear bike - especially if the rider is on the heavier side and/or is a masher. I haven't tested this theory in a lab or anything but those are my thoughts on the matter based upon my experience and that of others.
