it's been fine up until last week when i noticed the bb was loose, didn't feel or hear anything but i was just checking the crank bolts and noticed it, brought the tool for the job from BC on the way home and tightened up the drive side cup and all is well. i took the bb out and had a look and the grease was clean and the bearings were smooth (after6 months use).
because there is no flange on the cups it is more prone to loosening but then you do get to tweak the chainline a few mm which may be handy.
if i get another 6 months out of it and have to buy a new one i'll consider it good value as they are only about £14.
