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?
In a word....yes.
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!
ive got two one my giant xtc allaince iv'e used this for racing all last year took it out while rebuilding and doing its winter maintinance and its still spinning as smooth as silk the other is on the genesis and its still as smooth as new as i just pulled it out to get it re sprayed 
Thanks all - looks like I'll be getting one then.
