Date Reviewed: December 9, 2005 | | Favorite Trail: | 5th horseman | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$100.00 | | Purchased At: | lbs | | Strengths: | strongest isis bb on the market. | | Weaknesses: | most expensive isis bb on the market. | | Similar Products Used: | truvative | | Bike Setup: | team shore w/monsters, torrent w/slider | | Bottom Line: | the signature bb is the best isis bb there is. while pricey, it also represents the best value for the money as the bearings are replaceable. why spend more money on a whole new bb when you can just pop in a new set of bearings for $10.
i've had one on my dh bike for over two year and its been flawless. i just put one on my hardtail rig too. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 26, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Stiff, strong, lightweight, bits my Tomac 100mm shell DH rig | | Weaknesses: | None (well maybe the price, they aint cheap) | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano | | Bike Setup: | Tomac 204 magnum, RF NS cranks, Marzocchi monster forks | | Bottom Line: | Awesome BB. Have had no issues with this BB despite what the guys say below. I know RF had some teething problems with the first DH BBs but I've been running this for 2 DH seasons and it's just now about to embark on it's third. That's good VFM IMHO.
I'd recommend it, I've been pleased with ISIS overall, I used to have serious headaches with square taper BBs | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$89.00 | | Purchased At: | www.jensonusa.com | | Strengths: | Lasted all summer with someone learning to ride on some pretty hardcore stuff. Lots of drops, tons of DH, bad landings, you name it. | | Weaknesses: | It broke at the end of the summer! Lock ring requires a special tool which is a little bit annoying. | | Similar Products Used: | RaceFace Evolve XC BB... No wonder that one broke! | | Bike Setup: | Bullit, Boxxer Team, North Shore DH Cranks... | | Bottom Line: | It's a good bottom bracket but I have to send it back in cause it broke. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 25, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | sunday river, Me. | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | pedal power | | Strengths: | it worked for a few days | | Weaknesses: | It is no good. The drive side uses tiny bearings, not regular sealed bearings. The drive side bearings all ate sh** and got flattened. I kept riding and they chewed through the bb cup and my spindle was really loose.
Customer service sounded like they wanted to help and even made a rush job to get it me a new one in a week for a race. (thats when they answered the phone. But I called two days before my race and "oops" it never left shipping. I missed the DH race. | | Similar Products Used: | truvative DH splined | | Bike Setup: | giant Dh comp. a couple mods. | | Bottom Line: | I thought race face had a reputation for unbreakable products. Especially if it has the word signature DH. I guess they will put their signature on pieces of sh**. I missed a DH race thats part of a points series because they messed up in shipping. f*** that. Buy a truvative or fsa. You will save money and have a better product.

Date Reviewed: June 14, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Cycles St. Laurent | | Strengths: | Its Race Face and it looks cool. | | Weaknesses: | Its a piece of crap. The berrings were completely destroyed within like 3 weeks. Whatever happened to that Race Face reputation? Aren't they supposed to be like the best? I have lost all faith in them now. My friend's Race Face bb also was broken. The spindle in his just completely siezed. | | Similar Products Used: | other Race Face and Shimano bbs. | | Bike Setup: | Giant Team DH 2002. Shiver. Front MODO wheel. Rear Sun Ringle 12mm hub with D521 rim. Truvativ DH crankset. XTR rear derailler. Syncros stem and seat post. ODI Lock-ons. Axiom pedals. | | Bottom Line: | My respect for Race Face has definately gone way down. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
