Are these any good? Yet another XT HT2 BB is dying and I need to buy a replacement. Just wondered what the STW concensus is?
Thanks.
Have a ceramic and it is really good.Still going strong after 2 years.I did open the bearings when new and fill with ceramic specific grease that i got off the late kaesea.
R.I.P.. 🙁
I bought 2 last summer. The one on the hard tail is fine. The one on the fs died last month.
The top caps get pushed up off the bearing as you fit the cranks if you're not real careful. I think the sealing is rubbish basically. Bearings cheap and easy to replace but still not ideal.
So either pay more for better sealing (hope/ck) or buy proper disposable shimanos.
I had a steel one, didn't last well at all.
Try a token one...no silly tophats to worry about..same bearings that are used in the hope bb and only 20 quid..had mine for a few years now and only had to change the nds bearing once so far..still smooth as ever.
