The Sealex DH is designed for the most demanding downhill riders. Weight is not an issue here, you just want something that won't break.

rough, heavy, junk
I replaced this piece of junk with an FSA TI BB. Isis works great but truvative needs much help with their bb. My Stylo Team crank has been the best and the FSA BB has lasted and worked great.

Has not completely failed yet! ISIS
Weak and not suited for freeriding. Sticky.
Was sweet when first installed but spindle bent after about 3 months of moderate freeride use. Makes chainrings move slightly out of line. Bearings still in place and rolling but sticky in spots when crank turns. Avoid if you are into any kind of heavy use.

Axle hasnt bent yet!
Heavy considering its strength. Creeking and slow bearings
After just two days riding of pretty big staires (7 foot biggest) the bearings are ******! Whats worse is am only 15 and way a measly 7 AND A HALF STONE!!!!!!!!!! Bearings also slow and very unsmooth at start. dont buy if u like going big. (which it actually says on the bb!!) LOL

It worked well for a while. Hasn't broken and I've thrashed it.
After a little more than six months of riding I have noticed a large amount of play and some nasty creaking in the bb. The bearings are shot and the thing is a pain and a half to get out. Truvativ should have used a shimano system(deep splines) to remove the bb, not the stupid notches on an outer ring. All but impossible to move. This is my second truvativ bb with the same problem in less than a year.
It worked great until the play issues, though installing it was tough and hard to get it in tight enough. The noise is now unbearable, though I may ride on it tommorrow, hopefully I can find a fsa bb at a good price.

Smooth and Strong.
Short life and Durability of bearings.
Good for a temporary BB, but nothing really to great about it, didn't even last all that long. The only good ISIS BB in theory is the one FSA is putting out, the Platinum MegaExo ISIS BB that has external bearings. But in my opinion you might as well skip ISIS and go with the Outboard Bearing style, like the Shimano Saints.
