yeah but you ahve to preserve the plastic top hat washer. Or you can buy enduro bearings from BETD of the correct size so you can ditch the plastic washer, but they are 20 quid a pair, a cheap shimano BB is about 20 quid too and I fail to see how a more expensive shiamno bb will be better than a cheap one.
Three shimano bb’s here:
deore £16
xt £26
xtr£39.99
Apart from anodising and some crap about seals I cannot see any difference.
I have bought a job lot of enduro bearings as I have a range of BB types across my 4 bikes, (all takes the same enduro bearing) but if I had only one bike with shimano I would jsut buy the deore bb every time.
PS the pace one uses the enduro bearings or at least the early promotional pics showed enduro bearings.
