from ALTA LOMADate Reviewed: July 7, 2004
Strengths: IT WAS REPLACED FOR FREE.Weaknesses: IT HAD DO BE REPLACED IN THE FIRST PLACE.Bottom Line: I have an 03 fuel 98. The first one blew up after 7 months. They didn't want to replace it because they said it was my fault. "I washed it too much." Bull $hit! Finally after too months, they replaced it. Here it is July again and I have another broken BB. I'm not even going to try to get them to replace it. I'll buck up for a good one.

Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Seals, Bearings... what else can go wrong?Bottom Line: The salesman @ Footloose lied to me about the weight and MSRP of the BB. Told me the MSRP is $100.
This BB sucks. Only a dozen or so rides before it starded creaking. Excessive play and wear on the bearings after a couple of months.

Strengths: You've got to be kidding!Weaknesses: Trashed after 6 months and took 3.5 months more for the warranty replacement to be delivered! The freewheel warranty replacement (still useless) has taken 4 months.Bottom Line: The warranty service from Trek/Fisher has to be the worst I've ever experienced. Once they've sold you the bike, specced with all thier inhouse junk, they lose complete interest and that includes the great Gary too who never answers an e-mail!
I cannot recommened the Bontrager chain set, BB or freewheel to anyone. Use Shimano and be safe.

Strengths: very stiff, no creaks, smooth action, my first isis set up and very impressed.Weaknesses: 250 gramsBottom Line: excellent performance but when weight weenies find they can save 100 grams and get something just as nice, they wonder. Hence, I just put an order in for the AM classic cro-mo Isis. For 25 grams, wouldn't bother but 100?
Anyway this has served well and stiffness better than old xtr/xtr taper set up. If you don't care about weight, keep it.
1 ding because of the weight
Favorite Trail: the ones not closed
