I have a Team GXP BB, the one that comes with a Sram Road Force Crankset.
upon an inspection the non drive side friction (dust cap removed) has become very high 7x the drive side.
Is there a way to replace the sealed bearing? that seams to be pressed the cup.

any help here guys?

you dont really replace 'just' the bearings. just get a whole new bottom bracket assembly.

do you know what threading and the spacing??

thanks DeadSailor, basically I seem to go through one of these BB's every 6 months and since the drive side bearings were ok, I was wondering if anyone had managed to remove the sealed bearing from the cup and replace the sealed bearings, thus avoiding having to throw the whole unit away. Maybe a lot of effort, but i'm kinda sick of going through these crapily designed SRAM parts, I'm waiting for Chris King to come out with the SRAM compatable version of the new BB design they have.

You could get a Hope bottom bracket, see their website here. The standard version is for Shimano / FSA cranksets, but you can get a set of sleeves to press into it that make it compatible with the GXP standard. Their bearings are fully serviceable, they even have videos showing you how to take the old bearings out and put the new ones in.

R&R your bearings.
send them your cups and they will press in new bearings for free,then just pay for bearings and return shipping.
