month wait to get square taper dhs currently

Bottom Line:
Mated with a phil wood stainless bb, i use this for xc racing. I installed it myself and have not had to mess with it since. It was only 480 grams (best i can remember), 50 grams more than the xc version. Looks and feels like it will last. Don at monkamoo.com was a good guy to deal with. I'm putting a set on my cross rig too... Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
