Crankcase bottom bracket opinions
So I need to find a new bottom bracket, I found a Real Crankcase sealed bottom bracket.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
Or any other suggestions, looking to spend about 70 bucks at the most on this part.
JIS taper btw..

I've never heard of the brand/model, but since no one has posted, here's the link to reviews of that product posted on mtbr.com:

hopefully this will be helpful.
If I were in the market for a new JIS square-taper bottom bracket, I'd probably just get the Shimano UN-5X (I think it's at UN-54 now). It's the highest-ranked model that Shimano makes and it's totally fine. But maybe the CrankCase is lighter.
I've also used Nashbar-branded square-taper bottom brackets (produced by RPM) and haven't had any problem with them either.

True but they work well, are economical and are smooth and reliable. If you aren't too ham-handed when installing the nds cup and always remove the drive side cartridge first, the plastic cup is no issue.
