I need to get a BSA30 sealed BB for a set of White Ind. cranks; am looking for something preferably sub-£100 with good water ingress protection.

Is the Wheels Manufacturing angular-contact one OK? Anything better in terms of longevity at a similar cost out there? Rotor?

I've always found the Rotors pretty good.

Hey I have the WM one you can have it for £30 if you like. Not seen much use

Thanks!

How have you found them to hold up against the rain?

Really well. I used one in all weathers for 3 years on one bike with enough rain to kill or seriously maim 3 Garmins due to water incursion. I swapped the bearings after 3 years, but they were still OK.

That’s just the kind of real-world experience that gives me warm & fuzzies. Thanks!

I got something from AliExpress. ZTTO I think... Don't expect miracles but £8 quid. And if you're careful you can just knock the bearings out and press New ones in.

Thanks for all the pointers, I’ve ordered a Rotor due to the seals and the fact it comes with a tool.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
