i just have to say i bought a geisha and it never worked right- it would lock up and pedal forwards-i am a heavy guy (215) so this may something to do with it- so if you did a pedalling trick the cranks would move after you went back to pegs like a fixed hub- no reply from manufacturer-

In the old days (US BB) you'd just take out the crank spacer and crank down on the bearing a bit, euro BBs really don't like that, and die right away. I have some grip flanges (rubber) on the spacer inside the BB to stiffen things up.

i have changed dragonfly,dna,standard,nankai and reverse by this order.i had my nankai for 5-6 years and its very good if you are talking care of it once in a while.i make it with bigger gap so the pedal doesnt stuck and it was rolling very good.the pedal was turning backwards in some tricks i was making on the pedals but it was okay.this summer i bought a reverse, its much better than the nankai.the pedal never stucks maybe one time in three months.I have a small problem though it doesnt roll so good,i ll open in and regrease it soon but my friends geisha spins much better.my vote is for the geisha but if you want something strong like solid axle and stuff i recomend the reverse

Something must not be right, it should roll really well. Just grease it up inside with some good grease, and hope for the best.
