Awesome!
New inexpensive often beats worn fancy. :)

After an unnecessary, self-imposed delay I finally replaced the aging TA
Axix BB on my Atlantis with a cheap, new Shimano UN55 unit... what a
noticeable and wonderful change! Im happy to report that the 127mm axle
worked fine w/ my TA Zephyr crank and the wide Atlantis chainstays. The
Axix is a nice looking bit of metal but either the replaceable cartridge
bearings are ready for replacement or its somewhat complicated installation
requirements proved to much for me... or both. Either way the new BB is
silent, smooth and makes me very happy!
To inaugurate the new component I got in a spirited (for me) 35 mile round
trip up the Capitol Crescent Trail to meet up with list-member Erl in
Bethesda. The bagels, coffee and conversation were well worth the trip! I
also satisfied my curiosity for the 26 wheeled Atlanti by getting to size
myself up on Erl's 56cm Atlantis... I'm not sure I'll ever fully grasp the
art of bike sizing. It sure seems like I'd be perfectly capable of being
comfortable for long distances on that 56cm 26 wheeled frame.
