Has your frame been faced?
Can't say as I've noticed the smaller ones being less rel,iable on either road or mtb cranks but I always face the frame as I have the tool.

Water will eventually make it's way inside the bearings. Be careful washing the bike, avoid river crossing, but salty roads will still kill it.

Shimano road bottom brackets.
The old larger silver ones were fit and forget, but I think I’m on my 3rd BBR-60 (the narrower, black, ultegra level one) in as many years.
Rotor 3d24 and torquing pre load with a torque wrench (1.5nm or whatever) so reasonably confident that I’m not too cack-handed. The bike gets ridden in every weather mind, and I do no maintenance to the bb.
Just me? Unlucky and try again? Or are these now throw-away wearable parts rather than things you’d expect a decade out of.
