ProsI totally agree with 'Bombardier', as he took the words right from my mouth
ConsThey do wear away once dirt gets in them.
VerdictFor aggressive DH, FR, and AM riders.
Recommended for: Experienced XC riders

ProsMassively strong spindles, decent external seals, ease of installation.
ConsOnce grime is introduced, failure happens fast.
VerdictThese bottom brackets are strong enough for the rigors of extreme freeride or DH, yet light enough for aggressive All-Mountain riders. However, care must be taken to keep water and muck out of the bottom bracket. Consider drilling small drainage holes into the bottom of your bike's bottom-bracket shell if you run this bottom bracket, and avoid spraying water directly at the seals when washing your bike. Otherwise, this bottom bracket is worth the money for the abuse it'll take while riding.
Recommended for: Extreme freeriders
