Some high tech news of KHE:
At the moment we are testing a new kind of BB-cup which features the „patent pending”
AFFIX® bush system and the proven quality of
igus® bush bearings. These bush bearings, named
iglidur® are principally used in the industry, primarily on permanently running applications at high temperatures.
The
AFFIX® bush system features strong alloy cups to get the most resistant end-product. One alloy cup including the
iglidur® bush bearing weights only
36g/ 0.079lbs. Compared to a regular MidBB (including spacers), the AFFIX bush system saves
120g/ 0.265lbs, while it´s more durable and maintanance-effortless.
We plan to offer the AFFIX® bush system for Mid BB, Spanish BB & Euro BB. A pic of the new system assembled on a bike:

Ok, if you have problems trying to figure out the difference between iglidur and igus and affix then the point is: you can save another 100g with those cool new bearing ;-)
