Race Face Signature Ti Bottom Bracket
Product DescriptionThe much-anticipated titanium ISIS bottom bracket. The Signature Ti pairs up perfectly with the Next LP to provide you with the ultimate high performance, lightweight drive train. While keeping weight to a minimum was a primary concern, the Signature Ti uses double row bearings; consistent with the other BBs found in the signature line. The bearings are necessary to maintain strength and stiffness in the titanium spindle while giving you smooth, long term bearing life.Features: Sizes: 108mm 113mm Shell compatibility: 68 & 73 mm (adjustable)

from Greensboro, North by God Carolina, U.S. of A Date Reviewed: June 25, 2004 Strengths: Lightweight. Smooth. Strong. For a while at least. Weaknesses: Bearings are now shot and not easy to replace. A special tool is required to pull-off and press on the bearings. Like others, I thought that "you get what you pay for" and that I'd be riding this BB for a long time with normal maintenance. The horrible sound of those bearings sends shivers up your spine. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Owls Roost Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $125.00 Purchased At: Cycles deOro Similar Products Used: Race-Face taperlock BB. Those bearings are sot as well. Bike Setup: Race Face Turbine LP cranks and rings on my Moots YBB.

from Grand Junction, CO Date Reviewed: January 13, 2003 Strengths: Light weight, I think? Weaknesses: The bearings: They failed after only three months of normal riding (8-10 hrs per week) in dry conditions. The cost: I payed $135 and for that price I feel this producted should be more durable. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tunnel Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $135.00 Purchased At: Over The Sports Similar Products Used: Shamano, they have proven to be much more durable than the Raceface bottom brackets I have had. Raceface, which also failed too soon (bearing again)
