STEVE-0 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) I always thought that the Fsa platinum pro was the right BB to get now I'm buying tensiles...the thing is i thought the axel has to be around 127.5mm but they only make a 113mm and 118mm model. I know the bb cup size 68mm is that also the same as the limey because I'm also thinking of upgrading to 1. I wouldn't want to have to buy another.The only 1 I've seen that looks suitable is the Try-all BB which seems quite pricey at £53...any others?Cheers GuysSteve Edited August 20, 2006 by STEVE-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Can anyone help??? I was aiming to buy 1 tonight... thanks againtartybikes had some in a couple of week back. in 128mm. i dont think its that standard a size on mountain bikes therefore non trials shops tend not to stock them. maybe give the external echo bb ago? or the new skf ones on tarty, apparently they are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Tarty usually seem to have FSA Plat Pro DHs in in 68x128.Wiggle have a deal on on Truvativ Gigapipe DH Superfantastic Long Name BBs in 68x128 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Dont Worry I got impatient last night and just ordered a try-all, i hope they are as good as the name sugests... The echo external ones wouldn't have fitted anyway because i use front freewheel.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Get the truvativ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I spoke to Tartybikes and they said that fsa have stopped importing the BB and may not have any again until next year. I could still send it back for a refund, does anyone think that's a better idea than sticking with the try-all now i have it.Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'd say stick with the Try-All Steve - we've only had one back in over a year (which was a few weeks ago!), and that one had the broken bearing replaced free of charge.However, like Dave said on the phone, you can swap if you wish CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Alrite Adam...well it seems the easiest option atm. My friend has one and I dont think he's had any problems it came as quite a shock to hear so many bad reviews. Hopefully I'll get a good 'un Thanks againSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
