Time is approaching on replacing my SRAM GXP PF BB and just wondering about the Praxis M24 - any one got any experience? And before anyone says NO I don't want a Hope BB! Been there, done that and for several reasons went back to SRAM.
Come back to me in hopefully a long time. I have one being delivered today to go on my Arkose. Hope I can use mg existing shimano wrench to fit it....anything has to be better than gxp.
Edit sorry mine obvs will be threaded not pf
You need the specific M24 tool to fit the BB. Plus I thought it only fits praxis cranks, not gxp, might be wrong tho so happy to be corrected.
To be honest, I've used both and both are equally as bad. Praxis I'd say loses the battle as one of the bearings in mine lasted all of 10 miles...
Pretty sure there's a specific M24 for the GXP and also looking at the tech instructiuons I thought I'd be able to use the Hope BB pressfit tool I have? BUT if it's no better then I'll stick with the SRAM BB!
No experience of Praxis but I am ahppy to recommend Wheels Manufacturing BB's.
Mine was delivered and I fitted it today. M24 GXP BSA. Easy peasy with very clear instructions about what spacers/washers are needed. Just remember 1x cranks are classed as Sram MTB not Sram Road, even if they are a road crank like Rival so they need the thicker 3.7mm dust washer.
Lets hope it lasts.
