i am at the point of needing to do my bearings, have greased them like mad and they are noisy but will last for a while until i find a replacement setup, the point i would make is surely it would make more sense to get a bb that is easy to look after, i believe the expensive ones are and so would make it easier for you personally, the other option is to buy this and then maybe charge to fit bearings? I know BETD currently offer to fit if you buy from them but they haven’t answered my request on RF ones, and so there might be a market to get some back? but even then, i dunno if i would want to replace bearings for £20 + a labour charge when a hope bb is £60 and might last twice as long…
i dunno if that answers your question….
