I was hopeing someone here could help.
I have a 2011 GT Force Carbon Expert which has developed side to side movement in the bottom bracket hanger (the pivot just above the crank)
I've replaced the bearings, O rings and bushes down there and still have movement??!
I'm lost please help.

Looks like I've got it sorted.
I happen to have a Hope headset (by the way doesn't fit the GT bikes due to a high stack height) and used two shims that where supplied one either side.
This has been placed between the BB link and poly bush and completely eradicated any play making me a happy boy.
I'll ride it in the coming days and give you a final result.
