It is funny that Chris King has extensive instructions on re-greasing sealed bearings, and it isn't even mentioned on the White Industries website.
This BB was $127. (The Titanium version is more.) The comparable Shimano lists for $25, and can be found for less than $20. I'll bet it is just as good, functionally speaking. The WI one is a very nicely crafted piece.
Chris King has "an integrated grease injection system". For square taper BB's I find it hard to beat shimano.
I rode Phi Wood for years, but had to replace the bearings often. I made my own crude press to remove and replace them. The two shimanos' have over 25000 miles on them and still going strong.
