Anyone any experience with these as compared to Shimano UN55?

EDIT: or Stonglight JP400?

If the bearings are the same as their Powerspline BBs they're made of toffee

Thanks, in the end I bought a UN55 for £15 on Ebay, having been thwarted in my plan to order a £10.52 one from Rose Bikes as they are out of 107mm ones.

A 108mm Truvativ BB-07 on Ebay for £10 (plus £2.50 P+P) prompted my question, but I have only found a few reviews on line and they are not great, including a couple of reports of being assembled with axles the wrong way round

and some posters on here have reported early failures of the JP400.
