GPX Spindle Width?

I have a SRAM GPX bottom bracket that has got some play and some grinding. My LBS has told me to replace it, so I am thinking of up-grading to a Hope Tech. Does anybody know the spindle width of the SRAM GPX? is it 24mm?

It's 24mm but not all the way across, the NDS is smaller.

I have a GPX BB. When the BB wears out I think I'll switch the both crank and BB to something Hollowtech II compatible because there are more choices and better prices in that world.

I have heard of Hollowtech. Is that Shimano? I have just learned that Hope Tech has an adapter kit to fit SRAM cranks onto their bottom brackets.

Hollowtech II is a Shimano spec, but lots of manufacturers support it, both BBs and cranks.

Makes sense. Seems feasible.
