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.
