Kwizera Simon Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hollowtech II bottom brackets are fairly strong. If you have a good crank set and a decent bottom bracket, there is no reason that it shouldn't last a fair while. I doubt you will be riding in much mud so should be good for ages. Don't go lower than an XT BB though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxximum Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i have used xt cranks und bb's for quite a while. the hollowtech1 cranks just had one weak point: the spider got loose after quite a long time riding (probably after a half year or so). a friend of mine cut a thread on the xt-crank to ride it with front freewheel (so got rid of the spider) and rode it for years!

Ali C Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 it's actually around the same weight as normal cranks, bb, sprocket and bash, maybe ~100g difference at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
