JT! Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Either than or the truvative gigapipe. But i'v heard mix opinions about them. And then the echo one of corse if your fixed up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I would - and did - go for the FSA. The Truvativ made me want to hurt people with it's shitty, shitty extractor interface, and the fact it churned itself to shit in that area too when you took a tool to it. It was also never that smooth... I dunno, didn't snap a spindle or make bearings die, so I guess it wasn't too bad, but I just prefer the FSA.

Zordon Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) Truvativ - yes but only Gigapipe Team DH. I used it for over one year and it has never come loose nor rounded off. Just make sure to use a proper tool while installing/removing the bb and will be fine. Edited January 15, 2006 by zordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Do me a favour and don't get an FSA Platinum Pro BB. I snapped one within 6 hours use. This may have been a manufacturing defect or something but I won’t be buying another FSA BB.Get an Echo one, although a little on the expensive side.
