  • Anyone have experience with the newer cheapie Shimano BB, the un300?

    I just ordered one from CRC and you can feel it click faintly all the way around as you manipulate the spindle... like a mild version of the volume knob on a 70s hifi.

    Should I return it, or are they all like that...?

  • Used a few, none were notchy before installation.

    Had one that expired very quickly though; common experience says they’re worse than UN-55.

    I’ve started using Token square taper BBs instead; they feel much better made, with a CNC spindle and crabon sleeve. Not had one go crunchy yet. £30 direct from Taiwan.
