Strengths:    Reasonable sale price
Looks smart.
In theory, replaceable bearings.


Weaknesses:    Seized up after just FIVE rides!

Bottom Line:   
Smart CNC'd cups don't make up for totally inadequate weather sealing. Despite all the hype about external BB bearings being better, very few manufacturers seem to be able to provide a product that is durable. I had an XT square tapered BB on an old bike that lasted well over 2000 miles of XC riding. I'm buying a Hope BB next to see if it lasts any longer than this rubbish.
