Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone have experience with bbinfinite bottom brackets?

I'm considering purchasing a Campy UT crank for my BB86 Breezer frame. I don't want to use the Campy cups for various reasons. Bbinfinite has a BB, DirectFit Campagnolo UltraTorque, that would appear to me to drastically cut down on the potential for creaking as many UT cranks are prone to do. Anyone have any experience with this BB, or any from bbinfinite?

I installed the bbright version earlier this spring. I've put a little over 3,000km and so far everything been silent. It's an expensive solution when compared to other press fit bottom brackets, but the silence makes it worth it IMO.

Edit to add. Product aside, as a company the suck at customer support and communication. Once they have your money they seem uninterested in helping.

Shipping took over a month. They tracking # they provided was for a shipment that went overseas and they don't reply to emails.

Thanks for your input, canuckcicle. This is just the stuff I was looking for. Glad to hear the BB is good so far. Not so good hearing their customer service sucks. Maybe I'll stumble upon another company making a BB similar to them, but so far I haven't.

Installed a bbinfinite module on my Cervélo R3 to get rid of that stupid cups and possible creaks.

Good product. A litte pricey, but to get rid of creaks I have no problem paying that.

Compared to canuck I didnt had any problem with them.

The order shipped the day I ordered it. Took a few days to receive it.

Also had no problem with communication. Gary answered my questions everytime.
