Aztec Overnighter Square

Advantages: Cheap, extremely durable, abuse tolerant
Disadvantages: Poor crank choice, may not be suitble for extreme use

...What's this? It is a JIS square tapered BB. And in english... BB - bottom bracket. Screwed into the frame and serves as a mounting point for your cranks. Square taper - Axle shaft of the bottom bracket is tapered. The shaft is wider at the base than it is at the tip, so it ensures a very tight fit when the crank is tightened up. It fits square holed cranks only. JIS - Japanese International Standard. This is a measure of the degree of taper. There is also the ISO standard used by European manufacturers, such as Campagnola. The vast majority of mountain bike cranks are JIS. An ISO crank may or may not fit a JIS square taper BB depending on the tolerances and amount of wear. Evolution or Devolution? In the last few years BB's have undergone something of a revolution. Octalink from Shimano, ISIS from the others... Read review

In summer, during the showing season, the Rambo light was a godsend. After washing a grey horse I was quite happy to turnout to the field and no that he would come in quite clean the following morning. I prefer the traditional Rambo... Read review

Advantages: Control
Disadvantages: Big head

...Andre Agassi's old racquet is a wicked one for sure. It comes it two sizes of head- 630 cm squared and 690. i got the latter, but i think that the former is better, because it gives you better control of the ball. however, i got some very good power out of the second, but it was quite difficult to control the ball. my serve improved immensely, but if you want a racquet that does the playing, go elsewhere. i recommend this racquet to those who have their own power mainly, and want a solid racquet with a lot of flexibility....
