I'm currently on my second one of these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobi ... -prod13345 which now has excessive play and needs removing, I've had around 3 years and approx 10k miles out of each one. question is do I buy a third or go for something else possibly better? Any recommendations gratefully received. I need a 108mm x 68mm English thread. Thanks guys :D

    Isis BB are notoriously unreliable - the consequence of the oversize spindle is tiny bearings which don't last very long. There are a few alternatives around on ebay etc but don't expect a huge improvement.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I must admit that I've read similar. Doesn't seem like I can get much better for the money. Might aswell get another at least they are easy to change over.

    It's still cheaper than changing the chainset so you can use a different BB.
