Mine's not given me any trouble in the last few years. Pull it apart every so often (12 months) for a clean/lube and that's it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Super, cheers Stu. Any creaks? I've heard they're nice & quiet.

I've got one in a Carver 69er frame - it works fine but it's a bit of a pain to adjust. I wish they'd put a 6mm hex in it (like the Phil Woods have) so that you could use an allen key to turn it.
If you get one, make sure that it's the later version which has a locking screw on both sides - this way you can use two allen keys (one each side) which reduces the chance of rounding off or shearing the locking bolt.

Had one with the Ti bolt on my ebb for 4 years - it's grand, it was a bit seized in from not being moved but the bike shop shop moved it with a rubber mallet.

Don't ever think about tbh, which surely is a good thing.

Yeah that's what I like about my Phil Wood EBB too, but unfortunately it doesn't quite fit into the BB shell on this bike.
