It's only wear and tear if it worn within a respectable lifetime.FSR-Si":2v7121wb said:
If you would expect the bottom bracket to last longer than you have a claim in my opinion.
If they don't wish to replace it, play hard with them, ask for proof that this is after it's expected wear and tear lifetime. They cannot just 'make it up'.
Bring up things like Mean Time Between Failure etc
what he said
the whole 1 year warranty thing is bobbins. according to trading standards any item bought from a retailer is supposed to last a 'reasonable amount of time'. this negates things like wear and tear parts only having a years warranty, as if you dont ride it for 9 months of the year then the parts would only have 3 months use a year.

We live in a different world when it comes to saying a £30 bottom bracket (or in this case 2 bearings really) is cheap, you don't even get the axel!

I have 2 external bb and both have a bit of play , but it doesnt seem to get any worse .
compared to square taper , they are a lot more rigid , but dont seem to last so long .
might try an expensive one next time , chris king or hope ceramic to see if it makes a difference .
