phil wood alloy BB's

[AngryScientist]

Phil previously only had a stainless steel outboard BB, but they've stepped into alloy with choice of colors. a good chris king alternative.

I've been using one for about a year now on a Co-Motion Klatch. It only has about 1500 miles on it, but absolutely no issues. Quality appears to be just as good as CK.

Still do not understand the point of a colored bottom bracket but I definitely see the point of a high quality one so good on 'em.

i think the BB is a good place for a bit of subtle accent color, especially on an otherwise muted frame. like raw Ti. my moots, even though that crank is long since gone:

Hard to tell from the website - just 24mm Shimano compatibility? Or are there options for GXP?

That bike is so good. I think it would 99.99999999999% as good with the stock bb. I do think that the color on the headset does a lot more work aesthetically but if you've got the headset already, then I guess that bb is the cherry on top. Bonus points for it matching the frame decal too.

Looks like they are selling Shimano compatible 11 speed road hubs in colors, too.

I love Phil Wood stuff. Still kicking myself for selling my Phil Wood hubs years ago during a parts purge.

They offer a GXP solution that appears to be a factory installed press-fit adapter.
