Has anyone any experience with the BSA bottom brackets?
I'm looking for an upgrade over my Sram GXP bottom bracket.
Here you can find the technical information about the bracket: http://www.reset-racing.de/reset/reset_ ... _RD_03.pdf
the bracket can be fully disassembled and all parts are replacable. So i think you could service the bracket every few months, and each year or two trhow in some new bearings...?

When I researched this last year, I decided that the HSC was better. I can't remember why now. Fairwheel has them for $110.

Weight for mine was 84g without the plastic sleeve. I have about 2K miles on this one and I probably had 8K on my last one without any noise or issue.

The ceramic version get's very good reviews, though i don't want to spend the money on the ceramic stuff.

I used the vcrc ones for a while and gave up. The plastic shields break way too easily. I went through 3 of those and trashed them all with very little rain at all. Went back to the standard gxp and it's worry free.
