Another Shimano- SLX or XT, from Rose Bikes or whichever german seller is currently cheapest.

It's the bearings (and packing them with grease) that's important, not the branding on the BB.

To that end, just use whatever is cheapest and pack with grease!

Is it HollowTech II - Send it to BETD for the bearings changing to enduro bearings.

I tried lots of options then I got a King. I was going through BBs between 7 and 11 weeks. Haven't touched this one for 4 years so far...

I tried those bearings, one of the worst buys I've ever made for a bike tbh, never again. Far less economic than just buying another XT BB.

Hope Stainless

Running smooth and quiet

Careful on fitting as the threads are tough!

Replaceable bearings
£65

Also feels nice well made and "Proper"
