Raceface, shimano xt, Fsa? Merci.

My FSA replacement has already lasted twice as long as the original Shimano one did on my 2011 314.

thought about king bb? or hope? what cranks are you using? when installed right hopes and kings will both last forever

Enduro bearings BB or get 3 or 4 Shimano ones from Rose bikes for the same price.

My Shimano bb last me 3 months and fsa lasted 6 months , second fsa starting to make bad noises now , not great but fsa are £30 and I steam clean the sh*t off it after most rides so that doesn’t help I recon , looked into getting an enduro ceramic bb but at £150 and unsure if that much better .

I bought one of these from Real World Cycling in the US at the beginning of the year. It is still working perfectly after the wet summer. I’d trashed 3 or 4 shimano ones on my 2010 514 so am really pleased – well worth the cash and couple of weeks wait.

I bought the internal to external headset adaptor at the same time. This has reduced the head angle and made the bike more stable downhill – this suits me but it has reduced the bike’s climbing ability.

Anyway – I’d recommend the BB from Enduro Fork Seals.

3 and 6 months, blimey that makes for an expensive hobby 🙁

Hope
