"I bought a Niner Jet9 RDO e in January 2012 which was pre-installed w. BB30 press fit bearings. In just one season I used 2 sets of chrome steel and 1 ceramic bearings on a XC carbon hardtail. 1) BB30 is hard to mount precisely and you have to use special tools plus a hammer AND expert skills to get old parts out and news parts into the BB. 2) The life span of this product is ridiculous. It's designed for pro riders with mechanics and big sponsors. Weekend warriers look elsewhere it's not for us.
I ended up mounting my bike with an adaptor to run old school threaded BSA and it's so much better than BB30."

"Really nice autumn/ spring gloves which comes a bit big to my XL hand (1/2 size, surprise!). Excellent quality which will last a long time and can take a lot of dirt, washing and more dirt. I like hi-wiz colours but it's a matter of taste."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable

"I ride XC, no jumping, no DH. This set was mounted on a carbon 29er hardtail. After just 2000K's the bearings was loose. After 2500 K's the looseness in the bearings was noticeable when pedalling and the set finally came off. Compared to Shi. Hollowtech II this seems a little too short life span for a GXP BB cup. It's cheap, though. GXP (non pressfit, old school BSA) is very easy to install and runs smoothly when new."

"I use this a tool for carrying post, books from the library and - sometimes - a little shopping from supermarkets. It holds a lot for it's size and sits well on my back. Lots of different pockets (from cell phone pocket to. large room which will hold a notebook plus charger. it was fairly cheap but I think it will perform well over a long periode of time. I have used it for plus 2 months and it keeps it's shape niceliy and though it is made of soft nylon fabric it haven't lost it's original shape."

"I have used more rear lights than I care to remember. This one is by far the strongest and most impressive light I have had. To put it a phrase: YOU WILL BE SEEN WITH THIS ON YOUR BIKE.
The on/off button is a little hard to find when you wear the light on your back, using the clip, but for MTB it's not wise to mount the rear light on the seat stay b/c of mud and dirt: It covers the light.
The plastic looks exactly as cheap as any other chinese light - but this is supposed to be an american design - and I am a little concerned about how good it will withstand my (ab)use during long winter rides. I bought it with a discount, otherwise it's a little expensive, I think.
Three light modes: Changing flash and INZANE and steady."

"Having ridden quite a lot af DHB gear I expected a solid performer when I ordered this merino wool base layer. However, after just one washing I had to conclude that this piece af apparal will not last long: It lost it's shape and shrinked. The fabric is crimbled and the colour is fading.
I have only washed the base layer on 30 degrees C using detergent for colourful clothing.
It is small for a size L, too."

"Great little tail light. Impressive light output. Due to it's shape it's mainly for road racing as it picks up quite a lot of off road debris from mtb rear tyre. Also, it's a little difficult to clean at the circumference of the lens which serves as light contact, too. It sits bomb proof on the saddle tube w. silicone strap. If design matters this is really a nice device which do not subtract from the good looks of your pride and joy."
Pros: Attractive, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: pick up dirt easily

"To me Connex is the best there is. Their connector link is perfect and can be saved for others chains (it doesn't wear out easily like similar products). Furthermore, the connector link never freezes or gets stuck. I use this chain on a 2X9 Shimano 7700 road bike and it has really raised the bar with regards to shiftings performance: Precise and crisp shifting."

"Side pockets is a brillant idea, really useful design. Side pocekts is'nt big but there's room enough for 4 gel sachets and they're placed right where you need them when racing. The fabric is dirt repellant, I believe. I've had 3 Cbaks over the years and they tend to get dirty but not this one. Furhermore, it's really soft compared to older models and follows your back perfectly, Furthermore it is equipped with the new Cbak bladder design which is faster to lock/unlock and has a larger diameter which is nice for cleaning. 3L is more than I need for ordinary training but just perfect if you ever race marathons and don't want to stop too often. Personally, I like the vibrant colours but that's a matter of taste."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit

"Isis may be outfased from the marked, nonetheless it is a BB design that works (until the bearings are gone). I've used 5 or 5 Isis BBs over the years and this is by far the best. Excellent quality and durability."

Is it OK to swap a square taper 68mm bb for a GXP (with sram crankset)?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, you can, as long as BB is threaded. But you need to use the extra shims for SRAM /Truvativ chainset which comes as part of the package.

What is E-Fit?
Top 1000 Contributor
Some frames don't have front derailleur braces and no room for FD bands. E-fit is made for those frames and is a metal piece w. attachment for FD. It is tightened to the right (drive) side of the BB.

Can you fit mudguards to this bike?
Top 1000 Contributor
I've mounted Crud Road Racer Mudguard Set on a size small frame. I had to downsize the tyres from 28C to 23C to do this. The only issue now is the tip of the front mud guard which cannot run freely on the tyre. I had to neglect this part but this is really not a problem ;-)

Gearing and set-up?
I'm after a free-wheel set-up and brakes across front and back. How easy is this bike in switching between a fixed gear and single speed set-up? Something a novice could do with minimal fuss?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes. You only need a 15mm wrench key. But remember to practice fixie-style before you venture into high speed riding.
