Feelin' a bit rrranty
I think @Oddjob’s point about BBs was that the Aeffect also uses a 24mm spindle which means you can use a Shimano BB.I guess the SLX crank is still in my future then.

Oh yeah! A mate and I were pretty pissed off last year, when we were building up his Patrol, that there is ANOTHER stupid BB tool required for RF BBs. Not the Shimano one we've been using for the last ten years. Fcuk Rotor, RF and all the others who thought it was a good idea to put a different number of splines on their BB shellsGod no, not the Turbine. 30mm axle and tightening collar is a pain. Go the Aeffect R, it's lighter as well if taking into account the bb. Shimano bbs are also infinitely superior to RF ones.

Ah of course! Aeffect R + MT800?I think @Oddjob’s point about BBs was that the Aeffect also uses a 24mm spindle which means you can use a Shimano BB.
Have you not yet realised that this forum is full of Hope fanboy groupies?Are Hope bb worth it out of curiosity?
Hadn't noticed..Have you not yet realised that this forum is full of Hope fanboy groupies?
Good combo. But even the plain jane Shimano bb52 is excellent. I've had a Shimano bbr 600 (road version of the mt800) last on the road bike for going on 8 years and god knows how many kms.Ah of course! Aeffect R + MT800?

I’m with you oddjob. My hope bb hasn’t lasted any longer than any of the shimano units I’ve used.Good combo. But even the plain jane Shimano bb52 is excellent. I've had a Shimano bbr 600 (road version of the mt800) last on the road bike for going on 8 years and god knows how many kms.
Hope bbs are shit. The bearings are terrible and really hard to replace. If you need a bsa30 bb get a Rotor.
If you must have a colourful bb any of the Taiwanese ones from Cyclingdeal are pretty good. Not Shimano good but superior to anything from Sram, Fsa, RF etc.

I'm surprised it's lasted anywhere near as long.I’m with you oddjob. My hope bb hasn’t lasted any longer than any of the shimano units I’ve used.
Vote 1 for the Turbine cranks / bb too. Never had an issue with either the PF92 or proper bbs.Aeffect R seems like a smart choice:

You can buy WAY fancier sh*t, but the Race Face Aeffect R 7050 aluminum crankset and 170mm dropper post - combined with a great remote - are really all anyone needs...nsmb.com
Great technique for hauling cables through pits / pipe and conduits. No shoulders to get caught anywhere along the way.The key aspect of our technology is the connection between the polymer and the steel threads, which relies on the "Chinese Finger Trap" effect to create an 'unbreakable' bond.
Theres a guy on another page who has been riding a set of these for trail/enduro.
Hmmmm, sounds familiar.......Theres a guy on another page who has been riding a set of these for trail/enduro.

Pi Rope showed us superlight XC wheels built with their textile fiber spokes & gave us the lowdown of why they outperform traditional steel spokes...bikerumor.com
EDIT: just to clarify, they make a whole load of different alu and carbon wheelsets, from XC to Enduro/trail, the bloke I talk of rides the alu 30mm versions.
