Didn't think Royce was still around. They're good BB's

I've popped out the bearings in External BB and replaced with ceramic bearings for mine.

the BEST sq tp BB, in my opinion, is the shimano LX one.
install, forget, replace in 5-10 years.
bit heavy, sure, but if your chasing weight, get a nice HT2 setup i figure.
ive had one on my dirt bike for aaaaaaages

They don't list a 118 but it may be worth dropping an email to [url= http://www.aspirevelotech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=PWBOTBRAC ][b]Aspire.[/b] [/url]

Royce. Initially expensive, but replaceable bearings. I run my RS7s on a Royce BB.

Royce are very much still around. RS8s on a Royce bb here.

Someone on here recently suggested that Middleburn were now doing SKF bbs, and that they even had a square taper one. I have no idea if that is true but might be worth a call to Middleburn.

skf do square tapers in various sizes, and middleburn are now the uk distributors!
