Bottom bracket for Ultegra
I have an Ultegra 6700 group on a Pinarello ROKH and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a new bottom bracket? I ride about 200-250 miles a week and am approaching a point where I need a sturdier bottom bracket. I was thinking about a ceramic Chris King. Any other suggestions? Links please if you don't don't mind, any suggestions on a good place to buy it aside from eBay would also be appreciated?

Either DA or Ultegra BB. Before you ante up for a CK BB, do some math to see how many DA BB's you can buy.
Shimano makes great BB's for the $$ just like they make great cranks. |
Sturdier bottom bracket ? Explain
|
Could be bike shop upselling at work :P But the explanation by my mention of "sturdier" -- I stopped by the shop to get my derailleur hanger straightened out and was told I should look into investing in a better bottom bracket with the mileage I've been putting on my bike. Either way, a DA BB does seem pretty cheap.

Yes please......explain. All Shimano outboard BB's are created usual and are sturdy enough for 99% of the TdF field. |
the 6700 BB is pretty stout, no matter how many miles you ride. Someone is pulling your leg.
|
Is it that your so powerful that the new one died after 200 miles? Or is it something else?
