sounds promising, but will it's blue shineyness actaully make it last longer than a few months?

mike reckons not, but i'd be interested to hear why we should be buying this instead of another

Nah...

I think Crank bros are very innovative but there stuff wears out too quickly IMO, from pedals to multi-tools.

Bit unfair that Karlos. I've 2 mates who run eggbeaters and love them. My favourite trail multi-tool is a Crank Bros multi-19 and it's withstood 18 months hard use with no probs.

BB will probably be shit though. It is ISIS after all.

Anyone else feel that they've missed the window of opportunity with these cranks? When the first pics came out (about a year ago now?) then ISIS was still a force but things have moved on. They may be light and look sweet, but technology wise, they're a bit old news IMO.

i would give the cranks a go BUT (and its a real big but) they have chosen to make it ISIS!!!

what were they thinking?
Maybe they've made a ISIS BB that'll actually work.

I need a ISIS BB, like already, so if it's available and cheap (£30) then I'll give it a try.

I won't go back to any inboard bearings system lightly, be it square taper, Octalink or ISIS, I just can't see one single advantage personally.
Longevity in use and cheapness make the square tapers keep winking at me so long as I can still get them

i hopefully wont have to think about buying a BB for the next two years mike..........
