Hollowtech II question.
Hello, mechanics, can I ask a mechanical-type question here? 😁😉
My Soma Saga has had a Shimano FC-6603 triple crank on it, since before I bought it, around a year ago. The BB is worn out, and I bought a SM-BB52 (Deore for a MTB) for a good price on craigslist. Is this BB compatible?
I strongly suspect it is, but thought I'd ask here, before taking everything apart. 🙄😉
Thanks much for any help. 🙂

Why not go to the Shimano website, look up your crank and find out what BB it uses ?

I have the proper Park tool, and a 28t ring that "might" fit where the 30t ring is now. Both were cheap, so I took a chance on the chainring. 😉

Thanks much, just wanted to hear it from someone with some experience. 🙂 I've messed with square tapers quite a bit, off & on, but this was my first encounter with Hollowtech II.

That BB is probably fine I can't see why it won't unless it is the wrong size like for a fat bike or something but you would probably know that.

While Shimano puts great documentation out there, they tend not to mix generations in those charts, especially if you might be jumping 2 generations. There are often newer items that won't be listed in the older component compatibility and the new item compatibility won't show it compatible with an older generation component, even though they are fully compatible. Like I can use any 9 speed RD on a 6s index system which isn't going to show up in any compatibility chart

Had you stated…. “I’m touring, stuck on phone, can somebody do the leg work please” you’d have got your answer and I’d bet really quick!
Too many turn up here and don’t wish to contribute to their solution, you got rolled in with those.
As with all (most) bike shops, those touring get priority
