sobek Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 ok...so out on my GU...which ive had for just a little over a month now....and havent been out too much due to the heat and the rain here in china.anyway...side hop off a pretty high ledge results in my echo BB snapping upon landing (note to self...buy a helmet!!)so i need a recommendation...are there any BB's that are stronger than an echo?i would have thought a well known company part would have lasted longer than a month.weight is not an issue here...only strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialZonn Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I would recommend thishttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...p;category_id=2I have heard only good comments about this bottom bracket and Truvativ it's a brand that I would trust with the eyes closed...It's also cheap...Buy this if you don't find anything better...
