I am a little confused as to the different options available for BBs for mountain bikes. My bike has an internal BB (ISIS), but I see many external BBs these days.
What is the difference and benefit of each type?

Hi, There is quite allot of these available these days, at a glance they all look the same, however, see the link below for a detailed explanation of what is available and what the differences are. Basically from what I understand the issue with the ISIS is that it uses a 10 spline square tapered spindle which requires a smaller ball b-ring that will wear out faster.
