Uberbike do some nice threaded bottom brackets which can be serviced and the bearings can be replaced if required.
I use a good waterproof grease to keep the weather out which helps bearing life.
Thank you very much, they look pretty good.
Do you think it's worth buying the ceramic versions over the steel ones, or is it just marketing BS?
If Hope make a model suitable for your needs then I would highly recommend getting one, they are expensive in the initial outlay but mine paid for themselves many times over (note the plural, I was so impressed with the first one I bought a second one for one of my other bikes). I would get through a Sram and/or Shimano bottom bracket ever winter and another in the summer, the Hope lasted 3 years before I had so spend a few pounds on replacement bearings for one of them (the one I bought second hand off eBay).
Thank you very much for the help and suggestion.
I've had a quick look at the prices, and you wasn't joking about them being expensive.
