Shimano BB Cup Compatibility
Can I use Ultegra SL Bottom Bracket Cups with a 105 (5600) Crankset?
Thanks
Thanks

Everything I have seen suggests that 5600 cranks require 5600 BB, Ultegra cranks require Ultegra BB. However, I do not know why 105 would not work with Ultegra.

Assuming they are both 10 sp you should be fine. All of the shimano BB cups are the same ID as far as I know. I'm using a Saint BB on my Ultegra crank and it works fine.

Any Hollowtech II bottom bracket, from Dura Ace down through 105, will work with any Hollowtech II crank.
