Many people use fsa or truvativ which would probably work out cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Echo, the bearings are nice and big so they should last much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I had a try-all bb and wasn’t too impressed by it. The bearings felt crap from day one and it only lasted a few months before they totally went. The echo bb which I’ am currently running is much smoother and I suppose stronger because of the larger bearings. However, if I were you I wouldn’t waste your money like I did and go for something cheaper like an FSA platinum DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
