Price Paid:  $89.00 at Greenfish Sports

Favorite Ride:
Furnace Creek 508

Bike Setup:
Top of the line Shimano with carbon cranks, several wheels, but the ones I abuse the most are the Ksyrium SL's

Summary:
This is now on my TT bike, because I got a crappy SLK mega Exo for my main racing bike.. (I did not intend the new one to suck, it just does!) Anyway, I am going to buy a new one, and buy a set of Strong Lights to go with it because the BB ROCKS!

Strengths:
Still spins like butter after 25,000 of brutality... (I rode 12 double centuries last year, and used this one on at least half of them...)

Weaknesses:
Price, but it is MORE THAN WORTH THE MONEY!

Similar Products Used:

Price Paid:  $89.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
Anywhere with my wife

Bike Setup:
Litespeed Classic - Mostly Campy Record Carbon but FSA triple cramks. Syntace aero bars. New decals (it is a 1996). Reasonably trick wheels. Carbon bits everywhere.

Summary:
I bought and installed this bb on my wife's Litespeed. It is beautifully machined with everything thought out nicely. It came with both the steel (mounting) and alloy (usually on) bolts. I installed and then shifted to the drive side 1/4 inch to accomodate the front derailleur's inward movement. It works absolutely beautifully, very easy to mount. Mine is ISIS.

Strengths:
everything machined is immaculate. I have seen or felt no stiffness or seen leaking at the seals. I am impressed

Weaknesses:
I would have liked the directions to more clearly explained shifting for chainline and derailleur drop-spacing.

Similar Products Used:
Campy and ShimaNO.
