Reviews over the
Shimano XT MT800
4 / 5
Very good value for money. Highly recommended for a good bb at a good price
Very easy installation with the right tools. The bb is also quite light but feels very strong and stiff while pedaling.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Cheap and effective
This BB is smooth and quiet. It not not very heavy and is sealed. The BB itself is small and discreet, and improves ride feel

Excellent bottom bracket
Since there was probably sand in my bb51 bsa bearing (precursor bb52), I installed this slightly more expensive and hopefully better mt800. To disassemble the bb51/52 I bought the bbb spanner BTL-27L (44 mm) and to install the mt800 I bought the adapter tl-fc25 (44 to 41 mm). Previously the adapter was included in the package I was told, now it was not. Installation was pretty simple, adapter does go very tight in the key, but 't fits. Now I have a smooth-running bottom bracket again. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the durability yet.

Top quality on wheels
Beautiful black anodised bottom bracket with mounting direction laser-engraved. Lockant on the thread and well greased inside. Fitting is perfect. Just be careful to refit the shim rings properly so that your front derailleur/chain don't hit. Mounting is with a 14-tooth tool, but an insert for a 16-tooth is included! Top.
