|   anybody tried the shook 113 mm 147 grm bb yet?.............. | marco righetti
Jan 16, 2002 2:26 PM | | is it reliable? |
| As far as I know, Marco, nobody has a "production" 113mm yet... | AZ X-Racer
Jan 16, 2002 2:34 PM | | He is still overseasworking out some details about the new adjustable design that will allow it to be used with both 68mm and 73mm BB shells.
I found out yesterday that the FRM ISIS BBs won't be available here in the US until sometime this spring either. We are truly suffering for choices of ultra-lightweight ISIS BBs... :o)
You could still pay and go with FSA... or sacrifice some more grams and go with the 188g RaceFace Ti ISIS BB... |
| Just ordered an FSA Ti...... | berni
Jan 17, 2002 3:28 AM | | .....ISIS BB 73/113mm. Will post weight when it arrives.
Also ordered the FSA Carbon Pro crankset 22-32-44 175mm cranks in ISIS.
Think this may be the first ISIS one sold in US!
Should be about 580g + 165g + 20g (bolts) = 765g.
Thought alot about crankset choice - so much in fact I have a headache.
Had narrowed it down to Middleburn RS8, 620g, of CNC beauty, but not quite ready in ISIS yet.
FRM too expensive - customer service hard to find....
Race Face Turbine LP good value - but found them a bit ugly....
Race Face Next LP - too expensive, too much hype.... |
| That's what I'm going with too... | SS_MB-7
Jan 17, 2002 5:35 AM | | I'm also going with the FSA combo: Carbon Pro crankarms only (175mm, standard, ISIS) with Ultimax Xtreme Pro Ti ISIS BB (68x113).
According to their claimed weights, the set-up should be approximately:
- crankarms: 415g
- BB: 158g
Total = 573g
My old set-up was:
- crankarms (Morati, 175mm, standard): 325g
- BB (Phil Wood Ti, 68x119): 188g
Total = 513g
Weight gain: 60g (0.13lbs)

Jan 17, 2002 1:57 PM | | my ActionTec Ti 56T on my singlespeed project (probably with a Ti 28T back cog). |
| Original! | Jan_Gerrit
Jan 17, 2002 2:46 PM | | Just for the heck of it, right?
But one thing to consider: the longer chain need (full length I'm affraid, or even extended, will lose tension sooner due to wear.
Or am I mistaken, and does the higher toothcount compensate for that?
Whatever happens, it will look very cool, and might even produce a smoother ride.
Kees us posted, should you go through with this! |
