• Thanks both - I did a search here and elsewhere but I am not seeing a lot on this, hence wondering if there was local experience with this BB in the joy that is the English climate.

    True enough, a cup and cone BB is not a big deal to maintain, but a cartridge BB that doesn't seal well enough for road use is a different matter as the bearings cannot be replaced.

    Starting to lean towards the Centaur as a (I hope) fit and forget option.
