My BB has just given way and I was just wondering wheather to get a new one or get a whole new chainset.

I have a Truvativ chainset at the moment so I could get a cheap as chips BB for it or there is the obvious Hope, Chris King alternatives. My thinking is, though, is it worth spending as much for a BB as I can get a complete chainset and BB for?

If I was to go down the chainset route, i'd go for an SLX, new Deore or On One have an FSA for less than half price (don't want to spend more than £100).

Any suggestions or thoughts on this?

    Depends on the condition of the chainrings.If they are worn,buy a complete chainset.
    SLX or new Deore are both very good.
