Are there any HT II bottombrackets which can cope with a fair amount of grime and bad weather? The cracking is driving me insane...
Hollowtech II bottombrackets vs durability
- Thread starter was?
- Start date
cracking as in a creaking noise when pedaling hard? Or are you actually breaking them?
cracking as in creacking noise when pedaling, but all the time instead of pedaling hard. i haven´t broken one yet. i´ve stumbled upon the pace rc-80, any epinions on that?
Slap some enduro bearings in your existing cups. Sorted, cheap too
if its just creaking, check the bearings. If they are still rolling smoothly then chances are you just need to tight the BB.
the bb is tightened down, the bearings are shot, hence the question if there are any which will last me longer than 4-6 month...
endurobearings are way to expensive, if my quick google search was correct.

really, we sell em for a 3rd of the cost of a new shimano XT cup set down here in the butt end of the world
Or go to the source http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id227.html
Cost is about $15 for the bearings or $75 if you get their BB kit. I run my Shimano until they fail and then pop in the enduro bearings. The Enduro bearings last longer and spin better. Worth the price of admission IME
