    Favoriate Trail:mystery
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Strengths:What?
    Weaknesses:The bearings and seals suck. Big POS!!! Don't ride it when its raining. But what does it do in the the shore..rain! I got through about 3 a year.
    Similar Products Used:Near almost all isis bb, and they all have the same problem. Still looking for one that lasts over a year.
    Bottom Line:It sure would be nice if they could figure this crap out, and also make it so we could service the bearings not just this one time stuff.

    Favoriate Trail:Artist's Valley
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $100.00
    Purchased At:Summit Cycles
    Strengths:None really.
    Weaknesses:Poor bearing life typical of ISIS. Not as stiff as 2 piece cranks (unsurprisingly!)
    Similar Products Used:Some poor ass far eastern knock off.
    Bike Setup:2001 Ellsworth Joker, Zocchi Z150FR, MRP, Atomlab wheels - mostly heavy for FR / DH.
    Bottom Line:Crap bearings, began getting a bit rough after around 3 months of use, and got progressively worse, with a distinctive grindy rumbly feel after 6 months. At around about a year was really stiff then the race or something gave way and it started developing lateral movement.

    Gash product, seals couldn't stand up to British weather which is rather poor considering the North Shore ain't exactly dry!

    Submitted by Gary Baker a Downhiller from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
    Date Reviewed: August 1, 2002
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Strengths:None
    Weaknesses:Poor quality bearings and does not spin freely enough
    Similar Products Used:Truvativ, Shimano
    Bike Setup:Turner DHR with shiver, 321's, and Hayes
    Bottom Line:Only had this Raceface Evolve ISIS BB on the bike for two weekends and the center bearing failed. The BB does not spin freely when new and I think its a poor design. Called the warranty department 10-15 times and they never answered the phone. Installed a Truvativ and is working perfectly while the Raceface BB sits on the shelf. If you buy this product hope you have better luck.
