I have this type of HOPE PF41, it's for PF92 BB's and 30mmm cranks. Currently using RF Turbines. All is well but want to fit the Carbon Eagle cranks that were on a PSA ages back. So need to convert this BB to GXP. Don't want to swap the BB as it still runs smooth.

The wheel manufacturing adapter has huge outer flanges (oh-er) on the adapter. Surely they would space the cranks too far out?

Am I missing something obvious here?😁

The Wheels adaptor won't work as it's designed to convert a 68mm wide BB30 to a 90mm wide PF41. Your only real option is to fit a PF41 BB

You can convert a HT2 Hope BB to GXP, with the dinky alu adaptors.

and you can convert a Hope PF41 30mm (like yours in pic) to DUB

but you can't convert a Hope PF41 30mm to GXP

You need PF41 GXP. Hope don't do one. Wheels Man. do though, and probably others.

You can't convert the 30mm to GXP, you need the PF41 and GXP adapters.
