Historically, they don't seem to be the most durable, but they're less costly than the Phil, and available. And IRD makes Swiss thread mounting rings for their cartridges.
And what do you think about this:
Search for: phil-wood-y-shimano-bottom-bracket at velo apocalypse (still can't post any links)
I can buy a Shimano UN72 around 30€ and add it the swiss phil wood cups (around 65€). However still think is a lot of money to spend on that bike.
Also, because I want to work repairing bikes I think I can buy a BSA rethreading tool (Ciclus, around 110€) and fit the UN72.
Donīt you see it viable to force a Shimano catridge in like dddd did?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I appreciate them a lot
