    UN300 - less than 300 miles and it's toast

    Exactly! I am that generous.... I just ordered a new UN55. I was tempted to go with the Neco ones as some of you had suggested but then decided to stick with Shimano. Just because I have a UN55 on my Peugeot. Let's see how that goes.

    UN300 - less than 300 miles and it's toast

    Bearings might be easy to replace but at that point I prefer to stick with a cup and cone BB. In the meantime... does anybody want to buy two UN300? Both very low mileage :LOL:

    UN300 - less than 300 miles and it's toast

    I honestly think this was a bad copy. I refuse to believe the overall quality of the UN300 is so low they only last a few hundred miles. I installed a new one and took the occasion to put back the 170mm cranks. Let's see how long it will last for...

    UN300 - less than 300 miles and it's toast

    Hi guys, I just wanted to report my latest encounter with a defective bottom bracket. I purchased a Shimano UN300 for my Boardman and installed it just before going back home for the Xmas holidays. I did about 150miles before the holidays and 150miles since I am back. This morning I noticed...

    Washer on the drive side of Shimano UN300 BB?

    HI guys, I just got a new bottom bracket for my Peugeot and I noticed there is a washer on the drive side of the axle. I can't imagine what the purpose of such washer is. Do you know?

    Issues with Spa Cycles - advice?

    Good to hear they refunded you. I ended up waiting for a second hand crankset on eBay.

    Very confused about riding position(s) - mtb vs road

    Interesting that you run different lengths on different bikes. Makes sense. I heard some prefer to have the same length on all their bikes but I guess it's down to personal preference. I'm really curious about trying the 165mm and see how they feel!

    What crank length do you run on your other bike(s)?
