So I bought a SRAM force crankset with a GXP spindle (24-22mm). I have a bike frame with a 86mm shell and a FSA BB86 press fit that was previously installed. The spindle fits through the BB but is loose on the nd side.
My question is do I need a new BB that fits the GXP spindle specifically? I am aware that the spindle actually tapers meaning that it will not fit a 24mm ID bearing but I'm wandering if I could buy something i.e. a shim to make my current BB work.
Also does anyone know which of these might be the better purchase?
These are the two I have found:
https://www.sram.com/truvativ/produc...ressfit-gxp-bb
SRAM PressFit GXP Alloy Bottom Bracket | Chain Reaction Cycles
It seems either would work but I'm not sure which would be better.
Thanks for your input!
BTW: I have done plenty of research about bottom brackets, and have learned a lot despite how confusing this subject is. I am wanting to know if someone can confirm that I have everything straight before I end up buying something that I don't need. Sorry for the post note, I just want to avoid the proverbial "have you tried google", "do a forum search", and "read the product description". So far I have found this forum exceptionally helpful and appreciate the great threads I have read on this site!
