TomN Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 If its ISIS try selectbikes and get the FSA BB for £40. Or if it's SQ just get a Shimano one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 If its Sqaure Taper, get a Shimano UN52.Nice and strong, and cheap.If its ISIS, I dont have a clue, but as said, look on select bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 a try-all bb is a rebranded truvativ one. 'cept the Try-All doesn't have the Truvativ "Let's f**k Mark right off with this piece of shit type of extractor interface" BB tool interface...My FSA Platinum Pro DH ISIS WAP GPRS BB seems to be working pretty well. I'd recommend it, but there's not a great deal of difference between the two.There's a new BB Chris from S7 sent me a link to that sounds like it might be useful if the spindle length ticks the right box. Got needle bearings on the right side, and then standard sealed bearings on the left side or something like that - either way, seems really well thought out and might not be utterly shite. We'll see though I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
