Houseface Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 v!z ones or echo? steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) not a very useful reply there like,my top three choices would be1. Truvativ Gigapipe DH - strong, lasts for a long time, although is £50 and requires truvativ tool to fit....which is £12 - www.wiggle.co.uk2. Echo 2006 BB - Lighter than gigapipe and seems as strong, longevity is yet to be seen, but is £57 Also requires special tool. Which i £10 - www.tartybikes.co.uk3. FSA Platinum BB - Lighter than truvativ, not as strong, but about half the price, and uses standard shimano fitting tool (also compatible with race face and most other BB's) - www.tartybikes.co.ukI have run all three and currently the ECHO bb is my favourite, although if you go to bash or slip to bash/bb shell alot you may bang it which could lead to premature failure.thats my two pence Edited January 30, 2006 by ben@hulltrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) I would say the new echo or the fsa but the echo is very exspensive but worth it and the fsa is good value.

Dan-Walker Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) cheers for the helpful reply ben.Are the try-all bb's any good ? Edited January 30, 2006 by identitijudge05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think there good mine lasted ages but still a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Try-all BB is a very similar BB to the truvativ BB except truvativ has a differnt tool required, the Try-all BB is standard shimano fitting. Thus the tool will be more readily available or you will already have one.Other than that they are pretty much the same BB (IMO).and for the money i would rather pay for the truvativ, but remember to get the GIGAPIPE DH version, although if you go to tartybikes or similar shop then you will get a try-all bb easily.another 2p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 There are new Echo Bottom Brackets available which can be used with front freewheel and have internal bearings, come in 6 colours and will be cheaper than the external bearing echo BB.Phil.
