You can use a Shimano ht2 BB with a '22 to 24mm' adapter and a wavey washer on the driveside

So what's the difference between this and a GXP BB? It's functionally identical.

The Sram axle is stepped, which causes the nds bearing to take all the axial load, causing it to wear out quicker than the ds one.
