    Hmm... I just used some quality bearings and keep them clean and lubed, they've been going fine for over 6 months now.

    Wouldn't advise any of the above.

    Basically the BB has been machined too tight for the bearing. A standard bearing fit for this sized bearing, as stated by bearing manufacturers, is about 12 microns, my Boardman is 50 microns!
    so what was the diameter?
