[#2091525]

Hi all,

I need to replace my FSA MegaExo 7000 bottom bracket, the cranks are FSA Moto with 24mm axel so I reckon any hollow tech II should do, does this sound right?

I mainly ride in sandy and muddy areas which may explain the short life of the FSA unit. Can anyone recommend a bracket with really decent seals or which is easy to strip and service? Not looking to spend loads but dont mind spending £40-£50 if it will make a differance.

Cheers
Tim

BETD Goldtech enduro bearings, pressed into the FSA shells if they'll fit. BETD will press them in for you if you send them the cups. Pretty sure i asked if they'd fit FSA cups and the answer was yes.

Thanks will have a look into those bearings. Any other ideas or suggestions out there?

I've just installed a Hope one. £59.99 from www.lexs.co.uk. Really nicely made and bigger bearings than the Shimano ones. Only ever heard good things about them.

+1 for Enduro bearings in your FSA shell. They last a lot longer than the originals.
