Tbh, last week was a nightmare because of one specific part
We had three separate bikes come in with the same cheap, off-brand bottom bracket failing after less than 6 months. The cups were literally welded to the frame shells from corrosion. Anyone else seeing a run on these lately, or did we just get unlucky?

That's not just bad luck, that's a design flaw. Those cheap bottom brackets use steel cups in an aluminum frame. Without proper grease or a corrosion barrier, they basically cold weld themselves together. I've seen it happen a dozen times in the last year. It's always the same no-name parts from online marketplaces.
