    Having just got some cranks from this fine website via the classifieds I now need a bb. My other external bearing bb is a truvativ howitzer so I'm wondering is it's worth buying something other than shimano?

    My mate seems to kill these things faster than he wears out tires so I'm debating their longevity. And yes his frame is faced as is mine…

    Any comments of a useful nature?

    I think it depends where you normally ride and how you clean your bike. If you blast grit etc passed the seals with a pressure washer after each ride, you probably will have issues. I've been on the same xt bb for 3 years now, with no problems!
