   Stop wasting money on cheap parts, buy this now!
   Super simple to install and this has been one of the best upgrades I’ve purchased for my bike. High quality BB and NO creaks from the bike any more.

   Takes its own Tools!
   My initial assessment of the BB is that it is really going to be nice and after only a few hundred miles I’ll stick with that. I installed it on my Gravel bike, a Salsa Warbird. I like that it threads together for a press fit. This seems to me that the alignment will be kept and would be a little forgiving to a bottom bracket shell that may be a bit off in manufacturing. It does take its own tool. It is not compatible with Shimano as far at the tool goes.

   Rock Solid Bottom Bracket
   After 2 years of hard riding my press fit bottom bracket had developed creaks and side to side movement. Installed this bracket and it is rock solid now. I’ve got about 100 miles of Pisgah trails on it so far and it is doing great. Highly Recommend the product!

   Good and bad
   I have a thread-together BB on an aluminum frame that installed without an issue. The cranks turn really smoothly. I bought one to install in a carbon shell but for whatever reason, I can’t get them torque enough to where the safety pin on the NDS will engage. The spindle needs another mm or so through the shell before the NDS crank will lock in. I’ve torque within spec (40nm) but I’m not comfortable tightening any more than that.Even test fitted on the spindle though, it seems like one of the bearings isn’t seating properly. It’s difficult to get the spindle through without a mallet and the cranks barely turn more than 3/4 rotation once they’re in. I’m returning and just going to install a Shimano BB. I wish this would have worked out since my other experience was good.

   Takes the pain out of pressfit
   These are easy to install, easy to maintain, easy to remove, and easy to reuse. During my bike build I’ve had to install them three times now due to other issues, and they are a breeze. Awesome BBs.

   Huge Disappointment, broke in half, terrible customer service
   See picture, broke in half. In theory this seems like a good idea, however Wheel Manufacuring execution is very poor. Their customer service is no better. Go watch some Hambini videos, it is not uncommon for quality control on some Asian made frame to be less than ideal. On the bottom bracket this means you may have angler or offset misalignment; this can lead to bottom bracket creaking. This product when working does help eliminate the creaking. However, the aluminum on the treaded side is so thin it can’t stand up to the stresses caused by possible misalignment. If they were to increase the inner diameter on the threaded side, hence increasing the thickness of the aluminum it would probably be a great product, but as designed is just a waste of money. The Token Ninja is about half the price and has better reviews, I’m trying it next, hopping in works.

   Keep it dry!
   This BB is great, so long as you keep it dry. I I’m on my third in 2 years because I submarined the first two on creek crossings. I saved the second one for a bit after removing the outside seal and blowing/drying the water out, but after that, the seal couldn’t keep water out during routine bike washing.As far as noise, I’m a large rider, that does a lot of technical climbing, and have never had an issue with noise or creaking. From a technical standpoint, the BB is bomb proof.Just keep it away from water!
