Recommendations for BB ... for DA 7803 crankset?
Would it be wise to only use Shimano's SM-FC7800 bottom bracket ... for the Shimano FC-7803 triple crankset (Hollowtech II)?
So far, the only other BB I've seen that is compatible with DA's Hollowtech II cranksets is the "Rotor SABB BSA Ceramic Bottom Bracket":

I vaguely remember discussion about ceramic BB's, but I don't know if they have established a good track record yet. At any rate, is the Rotor ceramic BB something to consider for Shimano Hollowtech II cranksets?

Ceramic bb - what a waste of money. Exception for racing or if you are rich or really don't care.

You are right, operator. I searched the BF on ceramic BBs. The small benefit of ceramic BBs, is way too expensive to even consider. We might see a day where improvements in ceramics are made at a reduced cost to the consumer ... but not today.
