Will Arnold Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 truvativ giga pipe dh was a rather amusing snap to be honest the angle that your cranks were at haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yeh mate I did that after less than 2 weeks. 4 rides! Get the Truvativwas a rather amusing snap to be honest the angle that your cranks were at haha HAHA was it the same as my snap in Leeds which I rode out of motorbike stylee? Ask Matt about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh B Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I wouldnt recomend the new echo bb, But that is my oppinion as in my case it doesnt fit my team fame propely and slides side to side with cranks etc on all tightend etc etc. Rang tarty up and they told me to get my bb shel faced which i was dissapointed with as i imagined echo parts fitting an echo frame I heard tom rigg also had this problem but not many others.I also bourght a copy fsa bb for £30 which bearings collapsed within a week.I would say try the koxx one.

Brian Bleech Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 yeah, that was equally as funny was funny just watching you riding along like that i could'nt tell what was goin on what bb were you running btw?tai think he had a standard fsa platinum pro bb - my bike was the only 24" that survived that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 When I ran the FSA platinum BB in my 24 it snapped in about 3 weeks.Race face signature Well worth the extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 It's all about the square taper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Walker Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) my standerd fsa bb snapped aswell Edited March 1, 2006 by identitijudge05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Even though it didn't fit joshes bike, go for the echo. It's much stronger in theroy compared to all the other ISIS bb's. Thicker axel, stronger bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 yeah but it's echo, so it might be rubbish in practise.i think truvativ makes a bb with outboard bearings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yer my FSA is on the way out, not had it amazingly long . Weired because I don't go big.Did it start making nasty noises before it snapped? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 bit off topic but How do isis compare to square tapered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) bit off topic but How do isis compare to square tapered...Not an amazing amout of diffrence. If ime right square taper bb's last longer, but that can be sorted by buying a good bb, I say go isis as you have a wider range of good cranks to choose from.Eg Zoo! cranks, echo cnc's only come in isis.

tipsy Jock Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 bit off topic but How do isis compare to square tapered...Isis makes for a stiffer drivetrain, only problem is because of the way it works the taper is easier to stretch than a square one. Although that normally only happens if the cranks are removed and put back on very often. Oh and new bb's are more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thicker axel, stronger bearings. yeah but it's echo, so it might be rubbish in practise. Yep, that's what I'm waiting to find out, really. I know people are all "But Echo have changed their ways now" 'n' stuff, but that doesn't mean to say that it's actually going to be strong? Bearing in mind they said that about the cassette hub, which died and was taken off the market, and now they don't have a definite release date again? Meh...Oh, and you can't run FFW?
