I have had three or four of these because they were cheap, it turned out that in the long run it was cheaper to save up and buy a decent bottombracket. Everyone of these that I bought broke in under a month, the same two faults occured each time. 1) Mud and grit easily get past the seals and wear out the bearings causing them to cease or rattle. 2) The ends of the tapered arms round off very easily, even during light XC and commuting use I have rounded them off.
