Questions & Answers

What is the compatibility between raceface respond cranks and this product?

You're right, it's true. 24mm spindle standard is used here, as well as RaceFace respond cranks. With English (BSA) threads, it can be used with a 68mm wide frame bottom bracket (road bicycles) or a 73mm wide frame bottom bracket (mountain bikes). There are a few companies that follow the Shimano 24-mm standard, for example, FSA MegaExo. Pipe") uses a tapered spindle, 24mm on one side and This crank can also be adapted to fit into this smaller 24mm bearing with the aid of an adaptor on the 22mm side of spindle. Therefore, that can work too, but that's a bodge, so I'm not advocating it. Make the most of the GXP technology by getting a GXP bottom bracket (different sized bearings on both ends) if you have a GXP crankset. This can't be used with any of the 30mm spindles... There are few bearings that can fit BB30, PressFit30, etc. These spindles are too thick to fit the smaller 24mm If you are confused as to what all of this stuff means, I suggest you study these BB standards for 30 minutes with Google. Knowledge is power, so it isn't really that difficult. However, my answer to your question is yes.

Would this be a suitable replacement for an ISIS base BB from a 2011 Urbis Redline?

There was no way to make it work with ISIS cranksets.

This BB93 will work on a road bike frame with a threaded shell, will it not?

It would seem that part of the question has been answered. All bikes have the same thread pitch, but for some bikes, the BB is wider than others. Make sure the tyres you choose are the right width for your bicycle. Oh, and use anti-rust tires. As a lubricant, cranks are dipped in anti-seize agent before being installed.

The BH52 on my Shimano bicycle needs to be replaced. What is the benefit of upgrading?

In fact, Shimano's XTR is the highest-grade part they produce, so yes, this is the highest grade they make.

Selected User Reviews For Shimano XTR SM-BB93 English Bottom Bracket - Black

Taking the tool and the bottom brackets into account
5/5

Set of cranks. A specialized tool for Park Tool BBTs This BB93 bottom bracket cannot be used with the 9. The od of the notched ends of the BB93 is 38mm, not the advertised 44mm of the BB93 bottom bracket. The tool has a size of 9. It is also essential that the cranksets you use are sized for the shell of the bike. As an example, I have a bottom bracket shell measuring 73mm, which my BB93 bearing will fit into. However, the crankset I ordered requires a shell measuring either 68 or 70mm. The translation is It is necessary that the Hollow Tech II spindle length matches the width of the bottom bracket.

Make it a favor for yourself and get an external bottom bracket with full size bearings, like raceface, Hope
3/5

I'm not sure what Shimano is trying to accomplish with this. A small number of bearings constitute the bottom bracket of this bike. It's toast time after 200 miles on Make it a point to purchase an external bottom bracket with full-sized bearings, like one by raceface, Hope, or Wheelsmfg. A slight weight penalty is incurred, but a substantial improvement in durability is realized.

The replacement is excellent
5/5

As this wheel is not as wide as the one it replaced, I had to use the spacers that came with it, so be careful. When you ride in waters or where there is water, sealed bearings are necessary. The price is great.

I am not happy with the That bottom bracket has XTR on it, so I don't even know why Shimano would do that
3/5

This product contains small, open bearings, which would not be appropriate in your highest level of product. It is overpriced for the product that it is. That will be the last time I purchase this one.
