The SRAM GXP Team Bottom Bracket offers a unique and efficient design that minimizes bearing wear and simplifies installation. Unlike other systems, GXP captures the left-side bearing between the spindle and the left crank arm, allowing the drive-side bearing to float axially on the spindle. This innovative approach eliminates the need for side-loading bearings during adjustment, ensuring no excess wear and a hassle-free setup.
With two bicycle-specific cartridge bearings and eight seals, this bottom bracket provides a smooth and long-lasting ride. The new Gutter seal system effectively directs contaminants away from the bearings, enhancing longevity and reducing friction by 35% compared to previous models. Additionally, the design incorporates deeper installation tool grooves for better stability and support when applying torque to the adapter cups, shedding 15g from its predecessors.
