from Chico, CA, USA Date Reviewed: April 29, 2002 Strengths: ahhhhh... It's light I guess Weaknesses: The spindel began to bend after the first month of riding. I thought it was a bent plate on my MRP at first. It eventually became unrideable after about 6 months. Two other guys on my colligiant team had the same exact problem. I had the XS Dh 128mm BB. I sent it back to the warranty department about 7 weeks ago. I have called and left messages numerouse times and haven't heard back.
