Out of curiosity - why would you use an old and not very efficient way
to do things then you could buy a normal cartridge BB that will last
you the rest of your life since it is sealed to keep dirt out?


I run loose-ball forged steel spindles in all my own bikes.
People weigh all sorts of factors and make reasonable choices for their
own applications as they see fit.

I've got a mix. But I've had sealed BB units fail, about as often as
loose ball units. Both have failed seldom, but in my limited experience,
it's not a night and day difference.
