and the very poor longevity I have experienced from a Hope Ceramic external BB I am beginning to think external BB's are rubbish.
I will admit to limited experience as the past 5-6 years I have been running square taper with high end BBs like Phil Wood. Fit and more or less forget.
I did have a bike previously fitted with an external BB and again the BB failed after very moderate use.
Have I been unlucky?
Is it better to buy cheap XT XTR BBs with the knowledge that it will need replacing frequently, rather than chucking £100 at a Hope or King?
May be a Tune six pack is the way forward?
