MORNE Posted May 24, 2021 Share thats cheap...buy it or I will and sell it one here for more haha Edit 1: with BB's - goodkoop koop is duur koop imo. and then....you'll probably spend R750 ish on a plain old sram one anyway? id's just get the real thing from the get go. Edit2: I have a Praxis conversion BB that also set me back a good 1.5k back then but it works in a similar way than a wheelsMFG one. I've had it on my bike since day one....it still has the original enduro bearings in it after 2 years going on 3 and runs smooth as butter. It has been through river crossings, mud, beach sand, 2019 K2C and still going. Edited May 24, 2021 by MORNE Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hard on bearings and the bearings in my Sram B B (my first set) lasted a year with a bearing service at mid point. Sometimes a really hard pedal strike has done for one of my bearings.

I'm so glad to be running threaded Shimano BBs. My SS just got a new BB. Old one was about three years old. That bike gets treated harshly, and out away wet. And replacement BBs are pretty inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
