I see on the FSA website their megaexo bottom bracket, http://www.fullspeedahead.com/fly.aspx?layout=product&taxid=60&pid=120
which appears to be ISIS drive but has the external bearings. I know many people complain the isis drives has too small bearings and wears fast. This seems like a pretty cool product FSA has, i would imagine it would certainly be stiffer. Does anybody have any expirience with these things? I think i might try to get one when my current BB wears.

They are brand new. I was gonna buy one once they are available up here. they will be cheap like everything FSA so I doubt it will break the bank

I have never had issues with isis bearings but I know others that have. I think its a pretty good idea to merge external bearing system with a standard like isis.

THats what attracts me, most of these external bearing ones require a special crankset to match it. To have external bearings AND ISIS, thats a win win :). I only see them sold with the crankset though :(

Hmmm...we will see final market. I would be surprised if it stayed that way once it hit shevles.
