Hi all,
Want to fit a new Bottom Bracket (Hollowtech II) Only have a standard original bracket on at the moment so looking for the best upgrade with a max spend of £20'ish;
Best option I can find is:
Ultegra 6700 HollowTech II
Anyone know of anything better?

Rich the 6700 is a good BB. I've been using one on my Canyon for the last 3yrs with no problems at all.
You may get a DA7900 for a little more money...but you wont notice any differance !!
Get the Ultegra.

Have a look at these guys : http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/index.php
I think that the Hollowtech II is about £30. I've got one of their ceramic ones on my MTB, and its still going strong, despite about 4yrs of abuse in all weathers at Welsh trail centres.Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

In fact, I can't tell the difference between 105 and DA79000
