    The weight's the least of your worries with anything ISIS 😉

    Just changed out a SS ISIS BB after 8 months – pound for pound it was no better or worse than Raceface or any of the Brand X types I've tried in the past.

    My ears did pr1ck up a bit when the poster above mentioned 2 year warranty. A 2 year warranty that may only be 1 year? Besides unless the bearings are sha88ed from day 1 it doesnt look to me like they'll warranty any susbesquent failure:

    Warranty
    All parts bought from Superstar Components come with a 2 year warranty guaranteeing parts are free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of two years after original purchase unless otherwise stated below. The warranty is non-transferable and valid to the original purchaser of the product only, proof of purchase will be needed so don’t throw away your receipts/invoice.
    Like all guarantees this does not mean that all parts are indestructible. This warranty does not cover wear and tear or damage caused by crashes, bike transport, improper use or poor installation. Cyclists should regularly check they bike for damage and that parts are correctly installed.
    All parts have a finite lifetime and this is determined by the manner the part is used, maintenance and conditions of use.
    1. All cartridge bearings have a finite lifetime. Bearings that fail due to contamination, misuse, improper installation, or lack of maintenance are not covered under warranty even if failure occurs within two years from date of purchase.
    2. Parts which have been modified, neglected or poorly maintained are not covered under warranty
    3. Damage from causes other than defects in materials and workmanship such as a user’s lack of skill, competence or experience is not covered under warranty.
    4. The finish or aesthetics of the product are not covered under this warranty.
    5. Normal wear to the product is not covered under warranty. Components may have symptoms of wear in less than two years depending on amount of use, type of use and other conditions. This includes products that have reached the end of their normal life expectancy.

    This does not affect your statutory rights.

    Returns

Please note the postage cost on your returns form for refunding and include reciept. We will refund upto £6.50, please contact us if it is costing more than this and we will arrange the pickup. We do not refund for timed services such as express/courier and special delivery. We are not liable for any goods damaged or lost in your possession till they arrive with us.

    Faulty goods must be returned with a returns form explaining in detail all the issues and setup information. All parts unless stated otherwise have a 1 year manufacturers warranty, parts such as bearings are classed as wear and tear parts and are not covered unless they are faulty from new. Parts which are returned for warranty inspection and are classed as wear and tear will only be returned at cost to the customer.

    SKF have an international rep in the bearing business if they offer a 2 year warranty on ISIS I'd go that route
