It's fine for a track BB which has an easy life, being used for a relatively short amount of time and usually in ideal environmental conditions. The problem with Octalink and ISIS is that cramming a 22m axle inside a 33mm ID shell leaves very little room for bearings, and thin bearings don't last long, especially when you dip them in muddy water.
