Square taper BB's

UN7* bbs are still made - just not imported into the UK.
Always rankled with me throwing BBs away, which is why I bought a Race Face Taperlock (alas discontinued and has been for some time).
Phil Wood BBs come well recommended by several folk, no experience of them myself. Not sure how they compare with Royce BBs price wise.

Had my RaceFace Taperlock (steel axle) for 8 years now & still runnning smoothly. Just get's swapped from bike to bike with the Double Barrel cranks.

Lots of nice units out there. You can't really go wrong with a UN70/71/72, UN90/91 etc. With replaceable bearings TA are nice, as are WTB Greaseguard, if you can find one. WTB also have adjustable chainline, which can be a nice feature for a singlespeed or if chainring clearance is tight.
The only ones I haven't really got on with are the FSA Ti models - just too flexy for my weight.

Only the M950 (and the Dura Ace 7700), as far as I know.ernestrome":11e0t4yf said:
On a French forum I read a post from a chap who fits his UN72s with a grease port. He reckons it can extend the life by a factor of two.
