are there any differences in the GR and GPX bottom end.
i need a replacement crankshaft and connecting rod as mine are getting worn out (check for WTB section) and need to know if i can get one from a gpx.

Cranks take a lot of punishment before needing to be replaced. Normally you have the journals machined & you buy oversize replacement bearing shells from Mitsi to suit the machined journals.
Rods dont wear out either... unless you bend them.

i got the bearing replaced already which they machined if thats what your talking about ben.
but because they couldnt get a crankshaft and connecting rod <- which they said had been bent, i hear soft rattles above 3000rpm on all gears.
can anyone confirm alongside 'Vipfto' that the crankshafts are the same?
