'SORTED CRANK SPINNER'

Strengths:
stiff as you like, fairly good price, can be overhauled

Weaknesses:
Not had it long enough to find any.

Overall:
Got this as there were no xc ones left at the time, and I really needed a bottm bracket. Heavier than the XC ISIS, but i'm not really bothered about that. Keeps my Raceface Turbines spinning smoothly and flex-free.

'MMMMMMM.................NOT IMPRESSED'

Strengths:
Initially very good. Reasonable price.

Weaknesses:
Initially very good!!

Overall:
Got to disagree with the previous comments. Had mine for about a thousand miles and the spindle wobble was incredible. But guess what? I have replaced it with another due to favourable comments from everywhere and believing that I have been a tad unlucky in buying a defective bracket. Will add another comment regarding this in six months ...........or perhaps sooner!

'YET ANOTHER LONG LASTING ISIS B/B....................NOT!'

Strengths:
none

Weaknesses:
the bearings and that stupid o-ring thing.

Overall:
Just as bad as the FSA b/b (also reviewed) It may take punishment on big drops and jumps but once the pedals start going round that it, the bearings just jump out of the shell-literally! I've cut my losses now and bought a new XT hollowtech II which i could have bought twice over with the money i have spent on ISIS bottom brackets in the past two years.
