Any good? Im just about to stick one on order, had the RaceFace ISIS Evolve FR didnt last long (2month) and nothing but clicks, and then bearings seizing up i got offered a replacement but thats my second in under two month.

I haven't but I have considered it. They have a 5 year warranty so even if it's a bad as the other ISIS BBs, at least you can get them changed free.

However, before you spend £50 on a BB, consider swapping to these

And

Only £70 total but after that you can expect 2 years out of each BB and they're only £20 to change.

Hmm well i went ahead and bought one, I was planning on upgrading to the Shimano Saint. But short on cash at the moment, well until pay day. And havent been able to ride for over a month so quick £40 fix will do for now. But thanks for your input appreciated

Crikey, you didn't waste much time. You posted originally at 9:55 and by the time I replied at 10:06 you'd done it anyway :?

Aye sorry! Getting serious craving to start riding again If this doesnt go well its time for the Saint or the setup you suggested. I mus admit i hadnt seen the 5 year warranty what you pointed out and that contributed alot to me buying
