    Shimano Saint BBs have longer cups and threads that reach further into the frame.

    Mine didn't. It was an older saint, but the threads were exactly the same length as an SLX one, and the Hope that eventually replaced it.

    yes it is. the old ones were pretty much the same as any other shimano BB. the new ones are different.

    What do you mean well done?...

    Im trying to help the OP find a BB with longer threads here, not argue with you whether my link is to the older model or newer model cranks?

    The point is i was right with what I was saying, the Saint BB has deeper threaded cups. which maybe what the OP requires.

    wow, I thought my "people skills" had been finely honed to a level of disgust hitherto unknown by mankind, but I doff my cap to you, sir. I shall look up to you now as a benchmark for being a cnut.
