I've spoke to a lot of people about the new hope Bottom Bracket and I have had loads of different opinions, Im not really happy to spend £130 with the opinions I have received, just wondering what people on here thought of it?

I've got a red ceramic one in the shop and the bearings have gone after 3 months. Hope want £30 + postage for a new pair of steel ones!!

Rip off in my opinion.

i think you're better off buying a cheap hollow bottom bracket and spend the money on good ceramic bearings for them

Buy some good ceramic bearings. Most don't note a huge difference. You have had to have been riding for a long time to really detect minor stuff like if an XTR shifts better than an XT or different bearings. Most of the time you note weight difference before function.
