Well this is third BB fitted to the Salsa Alu Beargrease now since new. First one last approx 3 months then i fitted the more expensive model with Enduro bearings which has lasted longer but has been re packed with grease 3-4 times since fitting but has finally died. Im back on the cheapo model again for this time around. Again i packed it with grease and see how it goes over the summer months. There was a press release a month or so ago with E Thirteen stating they how their bearings werent upto much and have changed supplier for the 2014/15 model bb's. Well there is one thing for sure they cannot be as crap as the old ones thats for sure. One advantage is it doesnt take long to fit as long as you have the E Thirteen bb tool!
