Flowta' date=' what is the bearing number or give me the sizes I will source for you![/quote']

 

Thanks Shaunh

 

The bearings for the ISIS BB are 21.5  x  31  x  7

and the GXP are 24  x  37  x  8

Shaunh: Did you manage to find any of those bearings?

Flowta did you see why your nondrive side wobbled? The BB uses 2 differant bearings. Saw that today aswell

In the older GXP XR BB (that's a few letters, hey?) it actually has a spacer pressed into the bearing on the non-drive side. In the Team version it appears to be part of the bearing.

 

The problem I discovered the other day is that the overall spacing for the Team and the XR is different. so the crank arm couldn't tighten enough to "lock"  it on the spindle.

Yeah i found the 'spacer' to be part of the bearing on the nondrive side. Only thing i dont think this is a team BB tho.  Have you tried a SRAM BB? As this is exactly the same as supplied with the SRAM road groupset.

I'm going past a couple bike shops during the day tomorrow. I'll see what they have.

 

Was considering getting something like this made up so that I can use pretty much any BB (Shimano, Aerozine, Token, etc)

[Flowta]
