Review on ๐Ÿ”ง SUNLITE Bottom Bracket Set: Enhancing Performance and Durability by Aries Boyce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Sunlite bottom bracket set is the best on the market.

The Sunbeam bottom bracket kit I ordered for my client fitted his bike perfectly. I noticed something was wrong with his old BB set. At first I couldn't figure out what was going on, but then I concluded that the parts were simply worn out and not working like when my customer first bought it or when I first got his bike. So the first thing I told my customer was that his bottom bracket, crank and sprockets needed replacing. So I swapped everything out and decided to just start over. Anyway, this new BB set worked great. I didn't use the bearings that came with the kit, mainly because they weren't Hartford USA bearings. So I used some used Hartford bearings I had that worked great and Park Tool PPL-1 Grease which really worked. The BB came together with no problems, just had to tighten the cotter pin and it worked great. Also, it looks great with a Sunlite crankset and two Sunlite chainrings. Everything looks very nice! I highly recommend this bottom bracket kit if you have Ashtabula cranks or American Solid cranks.

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Quick guide
