Poll: SRAM GXP Bottom Bracket?
I recently found myself with a spare GXP bottom bracket, and I am trying to decide what to do with it.
On one hand, I could throw the SRAM RED BB into the Prez and use the S300 crankset with that, or on the other hand I could just live with the S300's stock GXP and sell the RED's. What do you suggest?
Note: The Prez currently has the S300's stock GXP BB installed but I have yet to ride on it.

it's ceramic but aside from saving ten grams and being infantesimally smoother(read: not enough to notice while biking around town), it's just a liability.
why do you want it? if you want it bad enough, put it on. is it better than the team gxp bb for riding around town? no.
if i were you i'd sell it and get a king, like pictured, because a king is a king and awesome simply because it's a king.

Keep the Red BB as a spare or sell it off. You won't notice it when biking around town, and it's always good to have extra money for other goods.

It depends on the application really, will el presidente make an appearance at the track? The difference is very negligible nonetheless, I only have mine because it came with my group and it only seems smoother and have less drag.
Never the less I say keep the red GXP for now, especially I presume you're out looking for a red crank for your 722 I presume.

I think I'll just throw the new GXP onto CL or trade it for something.

I'm quite content with Force Derailleurs and Brakeset, RED Shifters and Crankset.
I had originally purchased a RED front derailleur, but it was cracked... After a bit of hunting, I decided to go with a Force, and got a matching rear Derailleur because I'm a little OCD. If I find a RED rear derailleur for the right price, I'll probably go ahead and get it and use the Force for a 1x10 project that I might take on.
