Reviews
Pros
I totally agree with 'Bombardier', as he took the words right from my mouth
Cons
They do wear away once dirt gets in them.
Review
For aggressive DH, FR, and AM riders.
on November 4, 2007
Pros
Massively strong spindles, decent external seals, ease of installation.
Cons
Once grime is introduced, failure happens fast.
Review
These 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.
