The isis cranks are going, I love the cranks ----- hate the isis bottom bracket. I was going to get a skf isis bb which I've heard a few good reports on, but even then when the middle ring goes I have to buy an expensive raceface 5 bolt (tried cheaper ones but they dont fit)..... I can get a 4 bolt middle for a 3rd of the price. Some LX 4 bolt octalink ones will be put on in their place. I'd have liked to keep the cranks but i've had enough of changing BB's after only a few hours of mtbing in Welsh weather! even if the octalink bb's wear at the same rate, they're much cheaper anyway!!
Hopefully the octalink will be better (I'd have liked to get more up to date with some of the outboard bearings but I'm on a budget so octalink it is).
If they arrive tomorrow (Sat) they'll be fitted ready for Sunday mornings blast, if not, the isis will just have to last another couple of hours spinning with their nice side to side wobbly action
;-)
coming.......








going.......
