are these worth the money? i seem to wear out my stronglight ones out fairly quickly, i think it's the northern rain and grit mixture, coupled with a fair bit of canal towpath and cycle ways riding.

any other recommendations for a long lasting bb? (jis 107mm)

I bought one for a bike I had ages ago and it lasted for years averaging 4000 miles per year in all weathers, so yeah I'd say it was money well spent.

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:

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.
