What is the problem with them? I have just had one fitted along with a carbon chainset. :oops: In my haste a bought an FSA compact chainset at a bargain price, then realised I needed the ISIS BB, having said that I think I got a decent one, as a reasonable price.
Is ISIS past its "sell by date", i.e. are they still making them or has something else replaced it? Does it use the same tools as Hollowtech II?0 -
They do still make them, and they last fine if you get a decent BB (FSA platinum pro or the crank brothers one)0

I got the FSA Platinum Pro ISIS Bottom Bracket from CRC for £30 + 1 FSA SLK Carbon Compact Chainset for £69.99.
So not too bad and it should last a while.0
