« on: December 08, 2023, 10:53:34 AM »I'm curious about your opinion and recommendations on Press-Fit vs Thread-Together BB86 bottom bracket shells and especially these two in particular:Which one would you pick and why?
- ZTTO Thread Together - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005940645297.html
- Shimano Dura Ace SM-BB92-41B - About 20€ in a local shop
The thread together ZTTO BBs I tried were great; however, for that price, don't expect to get quality bearings.
You can replace the bearings with better ones. However, one hard issue, especially in the DUB world, is finding replacement plastic sleeves if you crush them. I'm a tinkerer, so it's fine for me, but if you're not, I would recommend the Shimano one.
If installed correctly with a compound to help it adhere to the frame, it should be reliable for many thousands of kilometers/miles.
