What's current flavour of the month at the value end of the scale?

Currently got XT, but have been looking at the likes of Deore, Token or Uberbike

If you're BSA, [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-bb-r60-ultegra-6800105-5800-hollowtech-ii/ ]Ultegra/105 is only a tenner.[/url]

Is that a straight swap for BB70?

My brother has one in his spares box that he was going to let me have, but it looked smaller - maybe optical illusion

No; misunderstood your requirement. Apologies!

£16 at [url= https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-bb70-xt-slx-hollowtech2-bottom-bracket-44433.html ]Merlin.[/url] I consider them consumables.

My hope stainless has outlasted several shimano xt bb's for me. I've had two deore units both last for a single ride!

I just got a £16 XT from CRC and that looks like great value to me.

Had a Deore in the past that I managed to trash whilst trying to install it so avoid IMO.

Will be going Hope when the one on my main bikes goes pop.

Gusset ext24

£25, very well sealed, standard bearings.

The ext24 on my commuter has lasted 3 (4?) years, by my maths that's at least 15,000 km, it's still fine.
