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 Recommended for: Recreational riders 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. Recommended for: x - Not recommended
