Phil Woods Titanium BB - am I mad?

millions gabes, I think you are going to need more than one of those

Greetings folks,
I have one of these on my bike ( Rastaman on pink mtb with Ethiopian colours - out on bridges ride last Saturday...) I bought it when I went fixed two years ago and I have not had to look at it again since. It runs lovely and smooth and is a great bit of kit...
Happy shopping,
Tim

How much is it?

Isn't there little bit of pride in knowing your ride has a Phil Woods heart?

To your first question on prices, look here.

And to your second question.....NO. Not more so than a Royce.

Oh yeah, JAH Tim, kudos to you for owning such a swanky piece of kit.

You really are the king of lists. I appreciate that in an ape.
And you really do like Royce don't cha?

Showoffs.

Now Prav, you know I prioritise bike parts over silly things like food.

What's the weight difference?
What's the price difference?
Then you get to work out the cost/gram saved. Yay!

You really are the king of lists.

Deep breath.............

Its good that you know how to make friends mate.

I haven't been called an ape since.......well, not ever. Its really quite warming.

I'll see you at the pub okay?

There's a good chap.

I got Ti just because I could. No other reason.
I'd happily use the steal version.

Which would only cost you your conscience...

According to GA2G's list
Ti = 154g & 110.00GBP
Steel = 197g & 64.95GBP

(197-154)/(110-64.95)=0.95449500554938956714761376248613g/GBP

Actually they aren't as expensive as I thought.. $160ish.
hmmmmm!

whoosh

cost(my Ti frame) < [Cost(steel Phil BB) + cost(Ti Phil BB)]

Loving your work Prav.

cost(my Ti frame) < [Cost(steel Phil BB) + cost(Ti Phil BB)]

which?

also royce are better by a long shot.
plus reduced carbon cost.

GA2G, if that was a hint of upset at being called an ape (tone is even harder to read on a mobile) i think he was refering to your avatar.

It wasn't meant to be offensive. Just a comment on your avatar. Lorry if I caused offense.

@eyebrows: How come they are bettera?

@Harry.Major. Maybe you didn't know I was black,....so I'll just leave it, about the ape comment.

Royce have been used by at least a couple of the best cyclists - Pendleton and Boardman.

I don't know of any top racing cyclists that use Phil Woods BBs on the track, or on the Tours.

Have you forgotten about your avatar, GA2G?

anyone running the phil BB with sugino 75 cranks?

Eeeek. Sorry.
No way of knowing that sort of thing on here. Again sorry if I caused any offense. Not my intention. Just trying to be immature.

Thanks for the info. I shall consider it.
I think I just like the Phil signature. Which I guess it stupid given it will be covered up...

'ta

(Still feeling stupid)

Yep, myself and a few others. There's a few threads about it too.
Check the drivetrain database.
