I am a complete retro-grouch, but its hard to not like a cartridge BB. I suppose that the very best (and best adjusted) cup and spindle ones spin buttery smooth like no other. And I do like the ability to tear it down. And I do like knowing that if I somehow manage to live to be 100 years old, I can still be using my old BB set up.
But, there is something to be said for a cheap and easy solution that I can forget about for 6 years.
