BSA English to SRAM BB

[Milzy]

I need a BB for my build. English threaded frame and fitting SRAM.
TIA.

I bought a Hope one for my SRAM equipped Genesis, wasn't cheap but 15k miles in and still going strong.
Otherwise can't you use the GXP one which comes with the SRAM group set

I’ve got a set much cheaper on eBay but no BB. It’s GPX I need. Seen one on eBay now for £20.

You'll find the SRAM ones seize quickly. The Praxis is better, believe you me. The fitment is also better - better end caps, better wavy washer.

Quite right. The BSA versions are at least better for keeping crap & water out I read.
Seizing will happen due to overloaded over tightened ends and riding in wet conditions without drying off.
I have a Praxis BB in my CAAD 10, that old bike must still have one of the stiffest ever BB’s even stiffer than most modern aero bikes.
