The Shimano 13-28 is what I replaced it with (I incorrectly said 26 or something like that earlier), and so far no complaints at all.

A forum member (I don't know if he wants to be anonymous so I won't say who) sold me his Denali bottom bracket when he upgraded (thanks btw), and not a moment too soon. My cranks had been flopping around for the last few days and when I pulled the bottom bracket out, my drive side bearings cage had completely disintegrated. So if anyone's keeping track, 10-12 thousand miles would be about the life-span of the stock bottom bracket, given no maintenance. Of course, I'll be greasing this one periodically.
