mairomaster Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I broke mine after about 5 months I start riding. I am wondered how weak it is. When I bought it I thought it would last at least 2 years but...The bearing broke up. My friend also break his but after a year and a lot harder riding. Now I am with Echo First and I hope it would last longer. Have somebody used this bb's and what do you think about them? What stronger bb's do you know? Sorry for the bad english, but I am not from UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam-pantera Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Try-all= Koxx= Cheese (-stem)A simple equation that preety much sums up Try-all parts I dont think your right there , the tryall bb's were designed to have replaceable bearings thats why there abit weaker than say a fsa bb . If your good at snapping bb's then you should consider either echo external , skf or wait for the new hope bb to be released . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantham Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Try-all= Koxx= Cheese (-stem)A simple equation that preety much sums up Try-all parts and how many try-all parts have you used?as for bottom brackets why not try the mo one it has much stronger bearings http://www.trialsman.co.uk/products.asp?cat=25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 and how many try-all parts have you used?as for bottom brackets why not try the mo one it has much stronger bearings <a href="http://www.trialsman.co.uk/products.asp?cat=25" target="_blank">http://www.trialsman.co.uk/products.asp?cat=25</a>rims, stem, BB, and my mate has snapped two Koxx XTP's, happy?

mairomaster Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Now I remember another my friend broke up his try-all stem. I couldn't change the bearing because the cups weren't in good condition, too. From the hole bb only the axle was perfect. baseguy I can't put echo external because I use front FW. I also can't bye skf, hope or moe because there aren't any in Bulgaria (btw I am from Bulgaria ). So I will hope my new echo last longer...

Matthew62 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I snapped the bearing case on my try-All BB but being replacable i didn't worry...but guess what they're not replacable! But bearings in ISIS BB's are a bit poo anyway, so what can you do - just gotta keep replacing them when they go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah most of it isn't all that strong...I see Try-All stuff as the kinda parts used for comps, i.e. light, but will need replacing immanently because they just don't last well. Don't think I'm on my own when I say that either?But the Frames, bBB etc Deng is kicking out at the moment are stupid-strong, and marginally cheaper than Try-Alls equivalents.Especially the rims I must say, when you compare the 26" Try-All rims with the Echo '07s, there is no competition. Granted, Koxx have just clinched it with the weight, but Echo’s are just tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 It depends what you wanna use your shit for. If you want light weight for comps/you are a smooth rider, then light weight Try-All parts are fine.If you don't know how to ride a bike and land everything like a sack of shit, then light parts are going to break.

mat hudson Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) skf bb's are pretty beef so i've been told. 10 year garantee too isnt it?also it isnt unusual to break a bb after 5 months.

Luke Rainbird Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Try a gigapipe dh bottom bracket, my is still going after 2.5 yearsMine gave up after about 6 weeks - so currently in the process of sorting it out with Fisher. Hopefully be sorted ok, as it's stiff/strong as hell, just a bearing issue I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the bad english, but I am not from UK.you do relise the beairng are replaceable, and bearing going are common in isis bbs because the axel is larger so meaning they have to use small bearings.

anzo Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 A wild guess here...Koxx don't actually manufacture the bearings...its about 300000000000000000 cheaper to by them externally than make them in-house. Obviously, this is the fault of the manufacture, not Koxx.All I can guess from your topic is that you smashed the bearing, and other than that the BB cups and axle is otherwise sound? Bearings are replaceable, although the time, effort and cost of doing so will probably be greater than simply buying a new BB.Also, as with most things with 'replaceable bearings' they'll use a custom sized bearing which is feck hard to get hold of.

mairomaster Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 A friend of mine need a low price bb, so I could sell him mine.

If you can give me some pictures, diagrames, what bearing I need. 10xMy guess is that by giving one end of the axel a smack it will knock the bearings out and then hit the other side couple of times doing the same and then push the new ones in. Not sure if theres a certain side the axel has to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
