If you want quality and money is not an issue how about Phil Wood?

Another vote for the stronglight here.....used many never had issues.....cheap too.

Buy mine from st johns st cycles usually.

I too had issues with shimano 300......infact there was an entire thread a few months back about failures of these.

Anyone tried the generic blue or red ones you can get.

Definitely 110 mm? I have a Stronglight JP400 68x113 bottom bracket that has seen very little use for sale.

Yes 110mm for sure

I saw a nice Genetic as well on SJS

I've run the Genetic Karyotype BB on my singlespeed through a couple of winters now. The Token one has a bad water trap between the cup and bearing seal, died after one winter.

Royce if you're feeling spendy?

If I was building a Merlin or something primo then I’d consider one but not for the moment

If you want long term reliability with a 10 year warranty SKF makes a great square taper, but it isn't cheap.
