just wanted to give a bit of a plug to my LBS (Cyclepath on MacLeod) - I recently ordered a new Race Face Respond crankset from Chain Reaction (set came with a new bottom bracket) - last night I went to install the cranks only on my rig (Rocky Mtn altitide 730) and the cranks did not fit in the current BB. Without even looking, I popped out the current BB and then to my horror, I discovered that my new BB was too small for my frame.
After some (after teh fact) research, I discovered that my bike had some new "standard" BB. Ugh!!! I looed on line at Jenson and the Race Face BB was $60, MEC was $50 and $46 at my LBS - plus I had a $25 store credit there......to quote Borat "Very Nice".......
Of course on my way out, I decided to pick up some new rubber - felt a little stunned at seeing Nobby Nic's were $100 - wound up goign with a more budget friendly Kenda Nevagal.......
