Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by Juan_Gear   on July 26, 2009   Cons Can not keep bearings in them, gave one away. Still dealing with the other,,,,,,for now reviewed by aabiking   on October 7, 2007   Pros Did not last long enough to figure out what I liked. Cons Started grinding within six weeks. I rode this on mainly dry land except for one spring crossing that was just about dried up because of the drought this summer. When crossing this spot it would splash a few spots of mud on my bike frame. So wet dirty conditions did not contribute to the failure of this part. I got a replacement under warrenty and have only ridden it about eight hours. I will give another review when I find out if the first part was just a bad one that missed quality control. Verdict I would be read more reviews before trying this BB.
