Which model GXP bottom bracket for omniums?
Today I just picked up a pair of used sram omnium cranks on craigslist and it came with neither chainring or GXP bottom bracket; hey I can't blame the seller because you can't beat the price I got them for.
Anyways, from some research online I found there's actually different model GXP BB's for road and mountain; and then the different sram groups.
Anyways from what I remembered when I viewed my complete 1st set in my LBS right before they installed them for me; the BB appeared transparent. Just like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TruVativ-Team-...6601358&sr=8-2. Would this be the correct one? Just double checking before I order.

I am seriously thinking of throwing these on and riding it as a conversion it for fun. As I've seriously not ridden it at all since I bought it as a frame.

ALL Sram/Truvativ GXP bottom brackets are interchangeable. They cups/bearings are all the same. For mountain they use a variety of spacers depending on shell width but for road/track you can put any one of them in there (correct threading of course) without spacers and it will work.
