My crankset looks like an anvil after a few passes in the water.

Wheels MFG offers excellent quality, but the threaded model is still the better choice.
I have had these in my mountain bike for about 10 months now. The first six months it went perfectly. In the meantime, I did re-grease the bearings once. (which is easy with this bottom bracket). Unfortunately, I am now going to replace it completely with the threaded model because the bushing creaks too much. You can solve it with re-greasing for a while, but the idea is precisely that I don't always have to remove that bushing from my bike myself. I had previous experience with the threaded variants (on other bikes). Those just turn out to be a lot better anyway. I am now switching to the threaded model.

This is already the height the 3rd BB from wheels manufacturing that I order. Unfortunately, the price has gone up by €20.

Bearings are fine
The bearings are fine easy to install yourself. Too bad the packaging was opened of the spacers, the bearings do not look used or that they have been assembled. There are several plastic rings included, no idea whether or not they should be in between in my situation. I don't have a manual with it maybe I am missing it because of the open packaging

Great product
Fits well, easy to fit, no more crackling. We sceptical about the durability...the two sleeves slide over each other with an o-ring in between. I had expected a rigid connection.

Easy to fit, seems great so far!
Having only installed this a week ago it's hard to give an opinion on longevity but initial impressions are good. Stopped horrible creaking from OEM BB. I think I would get the more expensive one from wheels manufacturing when I buy another, just to ensure that there is no creak as this one is just pressfit.

Nice quality, good bearings
I've never had experience of press-fit bearings before so I thought I'd try to get better quality ones to hopefully avoid the dreaded creaking issue. These certainly seem to fit the bill. They are made from metal rather than the plastic which seems to be so common with press-fit, and the two halves have an excellent seal which should prevent water ingress. The bearings themselves are smooth and seem well made and well sealed. One of the things I like about it is that the bearings each side are the correct size; if you buy SRAM's own bb it comes with 2 x 24mm bearings with a shim on one side to bring it down to 22mm. Performance has been faultless so far but since it's only covered 230 miles I would expect nothing less. Certainly no sign of creaking as yet and the chainset is running perfectly true.

Excellent. Seems stronger than the original sram.
Hello. I installed this bottom bracket to replace my old sram. It is much smoother and the installation is easy thanks to the press ordered at the same time. Not the slightest noise, it seems very good.

Well-mounted flexible bearings
Fine to assemble, always straight. Possible to leave the sleeve in and just put the bearings in. Which is a lot cheaper in the long run, and affordable to use better bearings
