You waited a long time for a reliable smooth outboard bearing BB. It’s now here. After installing many of these over the last few months, we can confidently say that they are not only gorgeous in their vast array of colors, but they install easily, allow the cranks to spin almost as freely as any ceramic BB and seem to be holding up real well so far. Maybe the greatest thing even yet is that they have a grease port so you can push fresh grease in at regular intervals.

ahh, finally

I’m wondering how much a Mavic 717 disc rim goes for? Also, your thoughts on UST or tubeless rims and tires? Thanks, Brent
Hey Brent nice to hear from you! That rim runs about $75. We prefer to run Stan’s tubeless rims with the tubeless tire of your choice. The system is much lighter and solid. For a guy your size I’d recommend either the Arch rim or the Flow if you’d like a little more durability. Cheers!
