After making sure bits and bolts were tight, it became official. I have now torched my third bottom bracket this year. Frustrating. I had talked of getting a Phil Wood rebuild and now I don't really see another way to go. Suggestions are welcome.This post was brought to you by the Misfits. Thanks Jesse.

phil wood re build is a very good way to go..
Built my new surly with an isis fsa bb ownly 2 months on it and it already crekin bad...

You're about as bad as I am with BBs.
Get the Phil's and forget about it.
i had an old isis that lasted more than a year. then i broke the f**king crank arm! so now i'm on to a that newer xt. once my bearings go, i'll do the phil thang.
funny I just replaced mine on the Monkey yesterday before out taco ride, although I got 2 years out of it. I can't make Swanson now I have to work at the shop, good luck and don't over dose your accelerade:)
Peace
When I was running the RaceFace Isis stuff, I'd go through a lot of bottom brackets--2 or 3 a year. After I broke the last of my RaceFace cranks, I switched over to Shimano. I've had good success with Shimano.
Mace the Race Face and put it in it's place - the trash.
Phil rocks
man, what a cool name for a company
race face,
why is it everything they make kinda sucks for people who actually ride bikes a lot.
headsets. yuk
bb's yuk
cranks, I've heard yuk.
such a bummer,
I wonder if the guys who are sponsored by race face get a box of stuff, and then a shipping call tag for when they have to warranty it?
Scott aka monkeyphile has been trying out a DH version of the BB. A few grams heavier... wonder if they pull in better bearings.
Oh yes- if you go through them fast enough or you have friends too. Enduro makes a bearing puller/replace kit and aftermarket bearings.
We know how good enduro bearings are...
