I fancy a new Bottom Bracket

[GilesM]

Go for the Hope one, I have had a hope BB in my full suss for 18 months of Scottish trails, still as smooth as the day it was fitted.

Thanks chaps.
Have ordered the Hope.
One of the reasons is that they have a great website with tutorials on how to clean and upgrade the bracket.

Another point about Hope is that if you have problems, e-mail them, they are very helpful.

The Chris King bottom bracket should be called the BB King.

Sorry.

 

[AlanW]

Sorry.

And so you should be!

do you absolutely need a new BB?

will it make you go faster?

 

[ianrauk]

No Will it won't... but it's a nice bit of bling.
To go along with the new pair of boots I've just put on the bike.

 

[139NI]

yes ian.... i have just discussed at some length ones' vanity with ones bike and with regard to the relative weights of your chosen BBs with Lady 139NI. She stated that one would be better off if one placed more emphasis on a larger shoot prior to a ride. the 4 grammes or so saved will then pale into insignificance.

 

[ianrauk]

your just envious that you have to continue to ride your green tank thingy...

ps. love to Lady 139NI

Can you get them in Blue?
Nice as they look, they are a little expensive. Don't want to stump up more then £100.

You can get a whole bike for less than that at Tesco's.
What make are the tyres on that pal,look v nice,Stockport blue as well.
