The new crankset. FSA Megaexo GAP. The bottom bracket came and broke almost instantly. The seal ring popped out between the snap in sleeve and the bearing cup. No one i've talked to has really heard of this happening before. Luckily, the company i bought it from sent me a new one.
I also recently managed to pop out the plastic sleeve without damaging it so I simply took out the broken seal. It wasn't really doing much in the way of sealing anything anyway even if it was intact. It works fine now, I'm hoping it will keep enough dirt out despite the seal so now i will have a backup BB just in case.
The crankset is heavy. Not heavy enough to be a huge concern and its weight will allow me to ride all mountain on the side of downhill trails.
I eventually want to float down to the side of lower all mountain/XC and take as much advantage of lower weight parts as possible. That makes it so the frame is primarily designed for solid all mountain but the components will make it a light all mountain. With this said, after some money comes in, I will be purchasing a carbon arm crankset geared for all mountain use and hopefully setting up a front derailleur system.
