Judging by the noise it's making my BB is in need of replacement. Using SLX cranks. Question is what's the difference between a Deore BB and an SLX/XT BB? Guessing it's just down to weight or something? In which case I may as well just grab a Deore because it's nicer on the wallet :lol:

Just thought I'd check though, can't hurt.

  • Seals most prob. Had both apart and can't tell the difference apart from them.

    You can get bearing kits to suit.

    Have a look on BETDS webby.
