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

Need a new ISIS BB.

I need a new super light weight ISIS BB, for my weight-weenie bike.

I currently have the FSA Titanium Pro. It's been a good servant for several years now, but it's finally wearing out from mileage.

Any suggestions other than FSA under $100.

I think I saw one by Token that weighed in around 140-170g or so, but not sure if anyone has had good experience with them.

Any indeas?

If not, then I may just try to pull the BB, and change its bearings on my own.

I've heard good stuff about the Token one. Phil Wood is probably too heavy.

Yup, Phil is the best. But too heavy for my app.

I know it's not quite the same, but for my DA setup, I took an Ultegra Hollowtech II BB and put Phil Wood bearings in. Definitely better than my DA BB.
