Light sq. taper BB recommendations?SgtKarj

What is the WW bottom bracket of choice for taper bbs for RaceFace Turbines?
For the record - I'm 175lbs and ride dry, sandy conditions.

Thanks - SK
Well I use either my own brand ones or...DeeEight

whatever else I have in the right length I need. On my Uglybik its
one of my Ti BB's, on my Amp its a Syncros Ti (since I needed a 118mm spindle), on my Ti Mega its also a Syncros but I wanted the wider bearing of the hardcore BB on it, On my Manitou its a World Class, on
my Thunderbolt its one of my Ti BB's, and on my Stratos I think its
a Syncros Ti.

Anyways, if you wanna know more about my Ti BB's, there's a posting in the mtbr classifieds for them. Just do a search on my name in there and all my posts will come up.

I just got a FRM square taper ti bottom bracket and it great. Nino recomended it to me and it works great. I pick up one(Brand New 2002 and it weighed 143grams) in the MTBR classified section. I believe he has a ad in the www.light-bikes.com classified section right now also. He had several sizes.
How much does it cost though?DeeEight

$119 and only comes in 68 or 70mm though. (nm)DIRT BOY

How about the American Classic Square Taper. They make it in a ti and chrome moly version. Very light at 134 grams. Also grease injectable which is nice. I have one and have had it for 5 yrs now. Still on the first set of bearings. See it at their website.
