Review: Bottom bracket swap - Really easy to fit, just make sure you have the right tools at the start and lubrication for reassembly There are no special knacks for putting back together. The tightening direction is printed on the parts. Just take your time, work in a light and spacious area, I was in my kitchen I turned my bike upside down but a bike stand would have worked as well Good part. The previous one lasted 4000 miles. I am expecting the same or better from this Review: Great bb - It's about as great as I could wish for. Really nice quality piece. ## Features - 14g lighter than SM-BB6700 - Half the friction of SM-BB6700 - Equal durability to the SM-BB6700 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CABINCY | | Bearing Number | 2 | | Bearing Type | bottom bracket | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Compatible Lubricant | Grease | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,432) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228109544, 04524667109549 | | Item Dimensions | 30 x 15 x 30 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Shimano SM-BBR60 (BSA) Ultegra Bottom Bracket | | Item Weight | 10 Grams | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Outside Diameter | 68 Millimetres | | Specification Met | Sintético | | UPC | 784427735690 689228109544 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Bearing number:** 2 - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 30 x 15 x 30 centimetres - **Item weight:** 10 Grams - **Material:** Metal, Plastic ## Images ![SM-BBR60 (BSA) Ultegra Bottom Bracket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-wc8evNtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: When it says 'one size', is that bsa english threaded?** A: Yes, this is the English thread version. It says 1.37 x 24 on it, which is the thread spec **Q: Would this work with Deore?** A: Not a straight answer as it depends on the age of the chainset Early chainsets with Hollowtech I used Octalink cartridge-type bottom brackets with a hollow splined spindle built into the cartridge, V-1 for road cranks and XTR and V-2 for most other MTB cranks and Tiagra and Sora cranks. Hollowtech II uses external cup bottom brackets with the spindle as part of the crank arms. They are not at all interchangable. However all of the hollow tech 11 family are interchangeable a d will fit assuming your crank arm is of the type attached to the spindle **Q: Will this work with a shimano tiagra fc-4404 crankset?** A: No it won't, you'll need a Shimano octa-link BB.... You'll need to know BB shell width, and axle length to order the right one **Q: Is the one size/multicolour version of 68mm? Also does it come with the tlfc25 adapter pictured? thanks** A: yes, I confirm that this movement is good for 68mm boxes with English thread (not Italian), and includes the key supplied ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bottom bracket swap *by T***R on 10 June 2025* Really easy to fit, just make sure you have the right tools at the start and lubrication for reassembly There are no special knacks for putting back together.
