Help me pick the right BB for my bike?

[Panter]

I bought this BB for my new build which is centred round a Specialized Enduro S-Works 2005 frame.

However, according to the enclosed instructions, it is for road and XC use only.

Can anyone recommend a replacement? it needs to be the same sort of money and suitable for all-mountain work.
I'm not bothered about weight, it just needs to be strong and isis compatible (the cranks are Truativ isis)

Race face evolve?

Chain reaction do the fr and dh Chris

Top stuff, thanks Dave

The FR version looks the one for me as the DH will not accept a tripple.
Mind you, I may only end up with two rings anyway, it seems a bit pointless having a large chainring on a heavy, all-mountain bike?

 

[djb1971]

I've also taken the big ring off. It never got used and just got in the way.

WTF are you doing leaving the ground on a bike anyway !! You're getting very adventurous

 

[Panter]

Anyone know of a similar stem to this (the wrong one) I bought but in the "skinny bar size" version?

truvativ husslefelt or holzfeller, after that you're talking more £££

chainreaction have a good easton on sale

Woa there, no-one ever mentioned leaving the ground at any point


Actually, I can do very small jumps now, and tiny bunny hops (but clipped in only)

This is me doing my biggest, bestest ever jump and just seconds before violently pummeling myself into the ground

Thanks Dave, you're an absolute star

At least you look the part, and scars earn more points

After that shot did the front wheel violently dip forward followed by you taking an over the bar trip

Looks cool though

Your other option for handle bars is to get a clamp shim made up. This is what I had to do to get my desired handle bars matted to my hardtail.

The azonics shorty/stubb are also good and priced low
