Bill,

I wasn't commenting on shifting issues...I was responding to your
bearing question. In my experience, the newer Record sealed bottom
brackets wear out at under 10,000, maybe under 5,000 miles. No big
deal on a cyclocross bike, maybe, but when mine have gone, it's
been because of dirt incursion. That's why I run the Phil Wood
bottom brackets.
