These have been really popular both instore and on the website as a quality replacement Sealed Bottom Bracket unit for both Shimano Hollowtech 2 BB's and Raceface X-Type as well as some FSA Bottom Brackets and with the optional convertor kit the Truvativ GXP Range of external bottom brackets.
They are available in either a Stainless Bearing Version or the more expensive Ceramic Bearing Version. The Bottom Bracket will fit both 68 and 73mm Bottom Bracket Shell's with the aid of 3 spacers depending on the Shell Width of your Bottom Bracket,
We have been using a Stainless version in one of the Shop demo bikes for around 6 months and during the depths of winter and found it to be both durable and a reliable bottom bracket with only 1 routine clean out required with both sealed still running fine. The other major advantage with these Bottom Brackets is that you do not need to remove the whole unit when replacing the bearings - they simply clip in and out making routine servicing easier and therefore prolonging the life of your bottom bracket.
As with all Hope components the machining is second to none with a range of 6 anodized colours. Our only gripe is when running in a Downhill Bike/Dirt Jump Bike with a Chain Device or 73mm Shell the cup insertion length is not really enough, and for customers who are looking for a more suitable Heavy Duty Bottom Bracket with a longer cup insertion we would recommend the Raceface Diabolus Bottom Bracket, For all other uses however these Bottom Brackets make a lot of sense and look trick on any bike.
