Review on πŸ”§ Ninja BB: Token Threaded-Press Fit Bottom Bracket for Shimano 24mm Crank on BB86/BB92 Frame - Ideal for MTB/Road Bikes! by Dustin Lannan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works. Period. I highly recommend.

I've ridden a few thousand miles on this bb, on a motocross mast, I have relaxed before that. I didn't use any fixative and looking back I'm pretty sure it wasn't tightened properly. Guilty. I decided to give bb Wheels Manufacturing a try and everything was fine for about a week until I drove over bb height over flood water and then it started to squeak. I disassembled it, cleaned it, applied Loctite 609 and reinstalled it. However, it cut right through before I tightened it. I got angry, cursed, and then dug up my Token Ninja that I installed earlier. Torqued down and reinstalled the cranks and now I have about 500 SAFE miles on my setup. Bought another TOKEN NINJA with ceramic bearings as a backup and am happy with the camper. I would highly recommend this bb and feel buying from bb Wheels Manufacturing was a waste of money, albeit an educational experience.

Pros
