Ok, moving way slightly - bottom brackets.
I consider myself to be pretty competent practically, and I've just been looking at BB's for another bike.
Oh my goodness, where have I been? I am old school - sqaure tapered and octalink - and I've looked at one HT2 on LEL. And that's it.
But I had no idea how many different BB's you can get now. Heavens sake! Confusing or what?
Anyway [and I have gone through the thread], but I see that Steve has a Hope BB. Any particular type, model etc.?
All I seem to read about is how the newer BB bearings need replacing because of water ingress causing failure and corrosion etc
I'd be interested to know exactly what is the Hope BB Steve has on the Raleigh ? [Or maybe there is only the one and that's it].
