If its square taper then Shimano, if ISIS then get a midrange SKF unit- Pace
are doing the distriution for those so you you mighthave to hunt around for one
- I got mine from Tim at Sideways Cycles.
SKF really seem to have sorted out how to make a good ISIS bottombracket.

Get one of those Giants thats just been serviced and stick a pair of Marz
MX pros as below. Maybe stick a decent bottom bracket in it, everything else
can be bodged but its hard a cobble a BB axle back together.

Wish I could come to NZ with you, check out the Ground effect website as a
good first point of contact, Nelson for xc and Queenstown for dh would be cool.

If I was away for a year there is no way on earth I would be putting Fox
forks on my bike. OK so Peru and Chile are hardly Northumberland for Mud but is
it work the risk having them in dire need of a service and completely borked
half way through the year.
Assuming you’re not going to be near service centres and might need to
pull them apart yourself in an emergency get Zocchies. At a push Rockshox Reba
or something.

I need help.
but on a completely unrelated matter, as some may know i'm off to Peru
and chile and Nz for a year and a bit cycle touring.
Now heres the dilemma, which bike to take, now the Glory is getting
shipped to NZ so you can stop worrying about that one, it's the actual cycling
bike thats the problem.
I want a bike thats not too heavy but can take the knocks in Peru and Nz,
i was thinking the Giant XTC
http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=8106
as i can get these for cheap (£250), but the forks are bit shite, so i'm
thinking off upgrading them too Fox's with a lock out.
any body know anywhere i can get a cheap pair?
Or does anybody else have any ideas of a good all rounder that doesn't
cost a fortune, thinking under a grand.
any help appreciated!
Jim
