Well, I agree with you on one point, 9 speed chains. They are weak.

However, bottom brackets. Yes, ISIS has bearings which are too small. But ST axles are small, weak and liable to flex. There is a system which addresses both of these issues. External bearing bottom brackets. They have a large axle which gives a good, strong, stiff interface with the cranks, and also have huge bearings which won't wear out quickly. They're also incredibly easy to remove for maintenance.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

I don't believe that anyone here can flex a sq taper bracket. If something is flexing, it is more likely to be the bottom bracket shell.

I wonder how long those hollow aluminium axles will last? Probably as long as me on Bad Ass' mom.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Hmm anyone seen any snap yet[?]

I haven't... sure somebody has, but I've not heard the mass ravings and complaints you get from people who've snapped ISIS, Octalink and Square.

I think the end of a Saint Axle is steel?

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">posted by clarkee

however, my isis axle is cracked in half after 5 months (its a truvativ downhill one) and the hussefelt cranks flex loads. im fed up of innovation so im going for bmx style 3 pieces. youre bikes might be the height of technology but my one will work.............<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

If that was directed at me... well, my bikes both work very well, I wont let corr blimeye parts on them, or them fall into disrepair.

You talk of being fed up inovation? Yet you use Truvativ BB's, and they're budget "heavy-duty" crankset?

Hmmm....

Just reading this post has got me so pissed off, you remind me of a spoilt brat that can't get their own way so they start making immature comments.
You have lost the arguement, you have managed to get most of the forum to hate you, just give up.
I wonder what come back I will get.
