Hello.
I have a bottom bracket issue, it is starting to click very loudly and i can feel it through the pedals when i pedal hard. It hasn't started to wobble yet but i think it might soon. It is a truvativ gigapipe DH isis BB and is around 10 months old. When the time comes to buy a replacement i have 3 options. I could buy another truvativ one, they are cheapish, and up unitl now it has been flawless. (£35) I could spend more money on an ISIS BB like the SKF one in hope that this will outlast the truvativ one. (£45-80) Or i could go the whole hog and buy shimano hone crankset (£75). The cranks i have at the moment are rpm el toro which are stiff and light enough for my liking so this might be a bit over the top but then again it isnt much more than a decent ISIS BB. It is for a DJ type bike.
What are people's thoughts.
