In the past week Bike Biz has featured two very unique bottom bracket (BB) setups. A maintenance free BB from KHE or Eastern’s new plastic BB.

As the industry pushes forward with more and more outboard bearing, 2 piece, cranks I am left to wonder why. The bearings or whole bottom bracket cups need to be replaced in a 1/4 of the time normally. If you cough up the cash to upgrade the bearings to something nicer like Phil Wood or ceramic they will last longer with less drag but the fact is you HAD to upgrade.

Choices are your friend, I often say. With traditional cup, bearing and axle setups you can adjust your chainline, q-facto r and if you want your bb super light or super bomb proof you can do it. Soon I will be reviewing a pair of tried and true BMX cranks from Profile. These cranks, though heavy, are bombproof and as stiff as you could wish. No out board bearing needed!
