I'm in need of a new bottom bracket, but would like a cartridge model. I'm running Dura Ace at the moment, and don't like the idea of new cranks. Any suggestions for a bottom bracket that is compatable with splined D/A?
Easy choice...ultegra BB-6500

I'd like to find an aftermarket (i.e., not Shimano) unit if possible. Ultegra's the cheap and easy way to do it if there's nothing else out there, though!
Believe Shimano has the exclusive on octalinkBB.they license others to make octalink cranks,but not BB.

ISIS is a standard formed by TA, Stronglight, FSA, Middleburn and a few others to get around Shimanos patent on octalink. So ISIS drive from all these manufacturers is totally cross compatible.
