Used by our team and customers for about 16 months for short rides, this was also a test bed for me experimenting with various bearing retaining compounds with plastic shelled bottom brackets. Turns out that the Park Tool retaining compound turns the plastic brittle on the Enduro Plastic shelled Bottom Brackets. They say the faster you fail, the quicker you succeed. Now I have knowledge and experience that wasn’t at the cost of a customer.

The result was the retaining compound failed and the bearing cup was able to spin in the frame. This has oversized the NDS bore by 0.02mm. It would be perfectly ok with an aluminium bottom bracket and high strength retaining compound, however, We will supply the frame with a super sexy Enduro XD-15 thread together BB that will completely eliminate the issue and carry a LIFETIME warranty.TIME will honour a 1 year warranty on this frame, excluding the BB.
