Balthazor Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hey guys ok i bought a Adamant A1 of the stig and altho its in good nic, the nondriveside is a tat lose on cranck arm its a isis BB on ISIS Echo CNC cranks with FFW. Now the drive side is rock solid but i noticed some errosion on crank arm splines and on BB end where a ring usualy is,( on nondriveside ) and its slightly mushroomed. So was thinking building up some spondoolys and going for Echo isis BB and Echo forged cranks they are pretty cheap and read up ok, just wondering if any of you run this or have knowlege and could help out somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Have you tried just tightening it up?You might be spending money for no reason.The internal Echo ISIS bb's suck. They snap easy and the bearings are awefull in them.The cranks aren't too bad, but aren't the strongest.Edit: What's a spondooly?

grant_hundley Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Personally I really like the Echo external bb's. Not the best of bearings but the axle is reeeally strong. Just not the smoothest of bb's.Skf's are pretty solid as well.. Havn't heard of any breaking and the bearings are pretty good in them.Truvativ gigapipe is another really good bb, good strength and good bearingsIn my opinion, you shouldn't compramise weight for strength on a bb. Can lead to some pretty nasty injuries. Edited November 13, 2008 by Bob Fossil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
