My Praxis BBs just don't seem to last. Are there BB manufacturers that make BBs to fit praxis chainsets (30mm on drive side and 28mm on nds)?

    When you say they don't last what do you mean?
    Is there some other reason as to why the BB isn't lasting?
    What frame is this in?
    It's not uncommon for the frame to be the main culprit leading to either a frame change or a bespoke BB being manufactured

    As above
    Have a look at your crank spindle
    Pretty sure it's going to show signs of under and/or over rotation if you're going through them so quickly

    Less than 500km in the last case. I just seem to be replacing them with monotonous regularity compared to standard Shimano ones. Pretty sure it is not a frame issue as occurs with multiple steel and aluminium frames with a machined tube for BSA.

    In the same frames Shimano BBs last thousands of kms.

    Just to update, I have discovered that Wheels Manufacturing do a Praxis compatible BB. Quite a lot more expensive, but should hopefully last a lot longer.
