My SRAM Omnium BB failed which they're notorious for doing. I was tempted to go with a Chris King or Phil Wood BB but started looking into Wheels Mfg and I found some good review. Seems like they use quality bearings so I went for it and bough this BB with the adapter for my cranks. I installed them like I've installed hundreds of BB's before.. the install went smoothly except for when I was putting the crank arms back onto the spindle. There was JUST enough spindle to get the arms on - but not enough spindle to KEEP the arms on. They tighten just fine but after a 10 minutes ride - my drive side arm fell off. I walked my bike home thankful that I was close by and went home to retighten - and over tighten the arms. Next day I went for another ride (this time bringing tools) and I managed to ride for about an hour before the arms fell off again.

Long story short the spindle on the cranks are just to short for this BB. I ended up buying a Phil Wood BB with Adapter - and I installed them about 3 months ago without issue after about 100 or so miles. Instead of saving some money with these I ended up wasting time. If you can afford it I recommend spending the money the first time and not looking back.

I gave this BB 3 stars because despite the fact that they didn't work as advertised - they do appear to be decent quality bearings - and I believe it was just an adapter issue. So if Chris King or Phil Wood are too expensive you may as well give this a shot if you don't have to buy an adapter. Worst case you can return them and get your money back which I did with ease.;
