MTB GXP Bottom Bracket Replacement?

[SoliD]

Guys, need a bit of advice, I need to replace my bottom bracket on my Boardman HT Pro, this is a Truvativ GXP installed, trying to find a bit of an upgrade from the standard item, and wouldn't mind a bit of bling following the blue theme I have going on on my bike, but there doesn't seem to be many options out there except for Superstar which have got some awful reviews.


Is it worth getting the Hope converters and upgrading to a Hope BB or just sticking with the £21 cheap truvativ, which tbh hasn't been replaced in the 3 years I have had the bike and doesn't get an easy life but has managed to last this long. I've got a stylo GXP crank etc going through it atm.

The hope is replaceable bearings and made in england and a thing of beauty. Go on get it bought

Only thing is now which sized one to get?

Simple enough flick the bike upside down and measure the width of the bottom bracket shell.
