A review is a review! Even if it isn't a great one. Mine went up in about 9 months but I believe that was because of the poor rubber seals on the outside. When I took mind apart, there were super heavy dutie bearings inside. If you lived in a dry area, you can't beat the price. But if it's wet, I'd go for a different design. If Truvativ were to seal the bearings better then I'd say this is an awesome BB. But water got into mine and then eventually into the bearing which rusted it from the inside out. But for just $30, that's pretty cheap for a really super heavy duty bearing and if you ride hard like I do putting a ton of torque on a BB, that's not a bad deal. Parts on bikes do wear. But it's super heavy duty built to take the punishment, just not built to keep the water out. Truvativ, fix the seals on this BB and I'm sold on it. The bearings inside were huge and major beefed. Why build such a super nice BB and skimp on the seal design? If you're riding for a season in dry conditions, buy it. For long run? I'd buy something more water tight. So I would say this BB is 1 for the money. Basically, you'll get one season out of it.
