Other than that, it's usually around the BB (I.e. where the large BB becomes tubes) that some crack, but not at the BB itself as they are usually these days very oversize, as noted by landotter. JS. |

Like this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7 Token_Iso_Square_Cromo_Axle_Bottom_Bracket/5360047968/ So same, but amended question again. Cheers |

Doesn't matter very much at all what the bit in the middle of a cartridge bb is made of, as long as it's strong enough to set the compression. A bit of carbon is fine, and a short bit of tube is rather cheap, so a fine little gimmick. |
