Isis is on the way out... http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fsabb.html I'm not so willing to indict either a company's product, or the ISIS bottom bracket in general, on the basis of a single observed failure. One could just as easily claim that FSA & ISIS are both exceptional products because I've had no problems whatsoever with what's on my own bike. Having said that, I'll agree that the newer crank designs with the combined oversized spindle/right-side crank and external bearings make a lot of sense. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Of course, Sheldon didn't indict the Isis system, but merely this particular type of FSA BB, for reasons that include the single observed failure but more importantly the design flaw that caused it. Having said that, I'll agree that the newer crank designs with the combined oversized spindle/right-side crank and external bearings make a lot of sense. One step further and we'll be riding single-piece Ashtabula cranks. Jasper |

The law of supply and demand? Ron Ruff wrote: Isis is on the way out... It is? Sure doesn't look that way to me!

Since I've been invoked on this topic, I'll risk the netiquette violation of a "me too" post: I'm in complete agreement with Mike on this, and have no beef whatever with the ISIS system, nor with FSA products in general. Having said that, I'll agree that the newer crank designs with the combined oversized spindle/right-side crank and external bearings make a lot of sense. Yes, this does make a lot of sense for most folks. The wide interchangeability of bottom bracket parts among different brands and models is a particularly nice feature, though, as an old-time bike hacker, I kinda miss the ability to play games with non-standard chainlines. For most people, however, that's a _good_ thing, 'cause it makes errors less likely. Sheldon "Neo Grouch?"
