Hi all
I’m thinking about replacing my xt bottom bracket with a Hope item . Are the hope brackets worth the extra over a std shimano xt and if so is what are the benefits of ceramic bearings over stainless
Cheers for any thoughts
Tony
The main advantages are that the Hope bearings are replacable.
ceramics run really smooth, cranks spin easier
There was someone selling a 2 month old ceramic Hope on here a few hours ago, it maight still be available
Got both the XT and the Hope BB's on different bikes and I would say, not really!
I think rose bikes are still £17 for an XTR. They seem to last long enough, spin well, and are easy to clean and regrease if that's your thing.
