This bottom bracket is made of really great materials and its easy to install if you have the right tools.
It’s well-made and works fine on my rocky mountain bike.
After 10 years it was time to rebuild the running gear.
Fit and function are typical shimano, even in their low-end line.

It came quickly in a protective box.

These are hard to beat for the money and come with everything in shimano packaging.
Came lubed up with that rad neon green shimano grease.
