Best PF92 solution I've found so far. Install the shell once and forget about it. Change out bearings when they get rough.

Thanks @droo that's what made 100% sense to me also.  Pity I already bought the Shimano XTR BB ... 🤦‍♂️

Not to be pedantic but each one for 9000 or 2 of them for 18000 each?

What kind of conditions were they ridden in? MTB or road?

Mostly Free state gravel roads 2 TB and many other races. Have my in the bike Since 2013 and do regular maintenance including cleaning and grease of BB.  I do not use a high pressure cleaner. I am now  using the bike in the UK.  https://www.stickboybike.com/2013/04/getting-most-out-of-your-sram-gxp.html?m=1

GXP is very flawed in its design.

When Truvativ introduced it, the design was groundbreaking, and then Shimano responded with their Hollowtec, to this day trusted and proven.

The GXP takes all the load bearing on the non drive side, which wears that bearing prematurely quick.That and the fact that the tolerances on that bearing is not great.

The Token BB uses 24 mm ID bearings on both sides and then supply a beautifully machined adapter with very tight tolerances. The insert sits internally and spreads the load across both non and non drive side bearings more evenly.

 

 I suddenly and unwillingly find myself in the position of needing one of these .... 🤪🙈 

Do you know where I can get one (22 to 24mm GXP adapter and other required spacers)?

Edit:  I see multiple options abroad but cant find any advertised in SA ... 🤷‍♂️

The adapter comes supplied with a BB (unfortunately)

If I ever get a bike in where one of those become spare, I will keep it aside.
