I love x-type BBs! As far as my next bike, Carbon, NO ebb, I'm thinking either a rigid Orbea Alma(carbon) or a the steel Origin8 Scout/Soma Juice, both with horiz D.O.s And derailleur hanger.

While we're at it, let's add on five arm 94/58 BCD cranks, and let's finally do away with Rapid Rise and STI mountain levers. See a common thread here? ;) Sometimes things change for the sake of change, or worse, for marketing purposes. Let's hope we see less of that and more "common sense", smartly designed parts coming in the future. RickySilk: Yeah, I hear ya there.

How much more flex is in an old school UN-71 anyway? I have a bone to pick with the Race Face X-type in particular. http://rickysilk.kungfoo.com/2007/10/16/race-face-x-type-bottom-brackets-suck/ Bring back the old school cartridge BB of the mid 90's!
