Here are just a couple of interesting reviews that we picked out from verified customers:
Extremely lightweight and smooth by Matt, 18 August 2013, 11 out of 15 people found this review helpful I was shocked initially that the material used for this product are mostly plastic (except for the sealed bearings of course). I was doubtful at first but once i tried it, it’s amazing. As always, Shimano products are reliable (even the low end ones). Pros: light I found this review helpful I did not find this review helpful
Easy installation by Thinman2000, 25 February 2017, 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful I’ve seen a few negative reviews of press fit bearings which has me puzzled as installation could not have been easier. It can be performed by carefully knocking out the old bottom bracket with a drift or a long screwdriver, then installing the new one with a home made press of a length of stud bar, two M14 nuts and a couple of large washers. The job only takes 10 minutes in total and can be performed by anybody with a rudementry knowledge of mechanics and tools. Just ensure every4thing is clean and well greased before installation of the new BB. As for the quality of the item, the old one lasted 2 years riding in the stickiest of scottish mud, hence my like for like replacement. I consider the BB71 bottom bracket made well enough for the price and would use it again. Pros: well priced easy installation could last a long time in dry conditions I found this review helpful I did not find this review helpful
