$80.00 | | Strengths: | it is a well known brand and the spec looked good | | Weaknesses: | hard to install the drive side shell did not seem to be threaded right I could have screwed up the thread on the frame side easily, it took great care to not do so. not stable the first few months had to re-tightened the non drive side at least once or twice. and it ended up squeaking like you would not believe. I removed it after less than one year and installed a Raceface instead which was a breeze to install and seems very stable. | | Similar Products Used: | FSA, RaceFace | | Bike Setup: | santacruz superlight | | Bottom Line: | a disappointment. I also purchased pedals ( Mallet and similar egg beater type of system) from that brand and they started to fall apart after few months, with the Mallet the bearing literally disintegrated after 2 years | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$156.00 | | Purchased At: | Mtn High | | Strengths: | Very well made, easy installation, 5 year warranty, super light but strong | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | Truvativ gigapipe and other Truvativs | | Bike Setup: | Turner Burner, RP3, Reba w/ Poploc, Carbon bars, K24 Hyd brakes, King/AC Hubs and Synergy rims, Thomson seatpost, X.9 Sram and Truvativ cranks | | Bottom Line: | Its been a year now, and my hopes for an ISIS BB that lasts seems to be coming true. Its expensive, but with a 5 year warranty, I figure that's its the same cost as replacing a cheap one every year, and that's what I was doing. If it lasts for 5 years, then I would give it a 5 for value, but I'm only at 1 year. I have no style except bashing into rocks and trees. No bunny hoping light weight here! 215lbs.! Its nice and light, and still spins effortlessly after 1 year plus. Great product. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$80.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Certainly looks the part. | | Weaknesses: | Saddly it's toast after 8 months (roughly 800 miles) | | Similar Products Used: | Race Face | | Bike Setup: | 06 Giant Trance w/ mods & upgrades | | Bottom Line: | I had great hopes that the CC Cobalt would be the final word in a quality ISIS BB. I could not have been more pleased until it became stiff and ceased after 8 months of use. I guess I'll find out how well the 5 year warranty works and try again. I will hold off giving a poor score until I see how the relpacement does. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$175.00 | | Purchased At: | Trailhead.com | | Strengths: | Lightweight, seals
| | Weaknesses: | Spendy | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano UN-51's about twice a year, FSA | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn S-30 Carbon, Race Face Turbine, Eggbeaters SL, Avid 9.0 brakes, Sram X.0. drivetrain, Thomson post/Stem, Easton Monkey Lite Bars, Cane Creek AD-12/S-6, beater Shimano XT hubs. | | Bottom Line: | After the FSA froze up from Cyclocross racing I bought the Cobalt. This thing is still smooth after several hundred miles of training rides, 7 XC and 6 Short Track MTB races. Think it has a couple of Cross races on it too.
To give a clue as to how hard I ride, this year I blew out the seals on both the AD-12 and Judy fork, broke 2 wheels, one chain, the derailleur hanger and destroyed an SRAM PG990 cassette.
Haven't noticed any flex. I'm 6'3" and usually 200+ lbs. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Super smooth and light. Not to mention it looks sweeeeet. I'll have to write another review after 6 months or so once I get some miles on it. But for now, super stiff and the shifiting is smooth. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
