Wheels MFG GXP 22/24mm to Shimano 24mm

So my cranks gave up on me shortly after installing the new GXP standard BB. Sad day indeed. 

Is there a way to change out the bearing on the non drive side to a 44mm so I can use a Shimano crank or are the BBs too different. 

I double checked and I don't have any shims in the BB to remove to make it a 24/24 setup. 

Sad alternative would be sell the BB and buy a new one (so expensive!)

I think its just a smaller bearing? As in 22mm on one side? Can be wrong though. But some of the other ones are sold for the same purpose and include a flanged shim to take up that gap if ypu arent running shimano.

Yup. One bearing measures 24mm and the other 22mm. 

No shims included. Just the spacers and wavy washer.

Thanks. 

The bearing itself doesn't have a shim at all. I measured the inside of the bearing itself. 

 

 

I see they just use a different inner race in that Enduro bearing. I'd rather have a std SKF or NTN in there with a shim+dust cover over the seal.
