In fact, I'm reaching about the same opinion. For now, I'm tending about using the current crankset (rather new Sunrace FCM918, installed about 4 months ago) with a BB-UN26 and, in the future, after...

We have a saying here about caviar: never see, neither eat, just hear about it. Campagnolo is about the same here... 🤣

As the spindle on Hollowtech crankset is hollow, they tend to be much lighter than square tapers. But that’s not my primary concern now, I can lose more weight than that!

So far the best Hollowtech proponent. What’s your weight? Thinking about the resilience of it under my heavy weight.

Maybe, but Speed B and DrIsotope have better experience with their 105 Hollowtechs. I ride on the rain, though.

The matched derailleur question is one I must account for. Will it be OK on a Shimano Altus FD-M371?

+15k on 3 frames? That’s pretty good!

But my bike is a MTB style commuter (streets here have holes so large and deep that’ll shred skinny wheels/tires apart, so we resort to chubby ones), will it...

Geez.. 35 years? My old Shimano UN26 survived “just” 10 years and I’m already thinking that’s a lot!

I’d already posted on local sites/forums and, despite some useful replies, most of it was like “Hollowtech is better because it’s newer” or so.

BikeForums’s users have my respect on this regard,...

Unfortunately, UN55 isn’t available here. Also, I’ve only found SM-BB52 Hollowtech, so my choices are limited.

I don’t ride extreme, but I guess my weight still makes it kinda “extreme-y”, so to...

Hi everyone!
