Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
« on: August 30, 2022, 04:07:08 PM »I have a BB92 on my FM-936(same as BB86 but 6mm wider) while I had ordered it as BSA.
Being heavily Hambinized at the time, I was very disappointed(big spindle in small hole = very bad )
But installed a DUB spindle anyway as I had it already.
After a year plus with the SRAM BB86/92 DUB and a heavy usage, races and mud, it is still surprisingly smooth.
On other bikes I tried GXP, BBinfinite(similar to Hambini), BB30, PF30, Wheels mfg and some Aliexpress PF by screw.
On all of these I was changing the bearings once or twice a year.
Moral of the story... for a DUB I would go every time with the SRAM, it is cheap and reliable.
And maybe look for something else only if unlucky, but probably the frame is then the problem (not concentric, or not circular holes) and any alternative won't probably work either.
Yes, I think I'll go for the SRAM DUB. I was looking up the Rotor Aldhu 24, and it would be double the cost of what I can get a Force AXS DUB crankset. That's a lot of bottom brackets.
