bikerbob Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi,I was riding my bike home after cutting some grass today and everything seemed fine, until i rode off a curb and then there was a light 'tink' noise and my bottom bracket spindle had just snapped right in the middle.It was an Onza square taper and I've had it about a year but done nothing big with it really, the biggest drop off was probably only about six foot.Has this happened to anyone else or should i stick with this bottom bracket, i am getting rid of the bike soon anyway.Bobclicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) sorry but hahaha now thats over, that is kinda strange because i had mine in for ages and i crashed down on it all the time the only reason i dont still run it is because it wouldnt fit in my new frame and i now run ISIS if they sold an ISIS version though you bet id have it Edited July 10, 2006 by MikeCottTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Random... In my experience onza bb's have been not that great, ive had bearings fook on a few of them, spend £13 on a shimano UN53 on ChainReactionCycles.com, they are much better.

Dan6061 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 It may have gave way after that 6ft drop, then just kept cracking after everything you've done since then.And the curb just finished the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerbob Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I suppose, But i didn't notice any creaking. The thing that i was most surprised about was the noise it made, no loud bang as if the metal had broken under alot of strain, just a quiet ping like a spoke snapping or something.Now it's just a wobbly scooter.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering many of the parts are made in different factorys you cant really say that all onza stuff is crud,however i do agree that the bb's are not as good as shimano.
