[Closed] Should a HT2 Chainset come with the BB?

I am sure that whenever I ordered cranksets from CRC they came with the cranks and the external BB. Just ordered some from ShineyBikes and have the cranks but no bearings.

Is my memory shot and this is normal?

Yep. Should be a BB in there. How much did you pay?

depends...

if you get oem ones they often come sans BB (on one, for example).

A lot of places seem to quote prices without BB as well as it makes them look better. Should say on the page though.

Not an SLX is it? The ones on their website quietly tack "ex BB" into the listing... 😕

Yeah - I wish my foresight was as accurate and my hindsight.
