So I bougth a new frame and brought it to the bikeshop today to get the headtube reamed and faced and the BB shell faced and tapped.
I already bought a cane creek tank jump headset and am looking into buying an SKF bb because both these headset and BB have cromoly cups which I prefer.
The SKF BFR600 is twice the price of the 300 because it's made out of stainless steel whereas the 300 is made out of cromoly steel, bearings are claimed to be the same on both versions. Is there a reason to pick stainless steel over cromoly steel? Or any other reason to pick the 600 over the 300?
Can I put my older try all ISIS cranks on a new BB? I assume yes since the cranks are made from aluminum and the bb spindle is made from steel. Also at eyesight the ISIS interface on the crank and on my old BB don't seem to have a lot of wear on them.
Thanks.
