Technology:

Hollowtech II
Shimano Hollowtech II is a crank bottom bracket system designed to achieve an ideal ratio of stiffness, weight and rotational efficiency. It is based on an integration of the bottom bracket and the right crank arm and works with a 24 mm axle or bearing diameter, which has proven to be optimal in terms of stability. In many cases, the bearing cups are on the outside so that the load is better distributed. High-quality precision seals ensure a long service life.

    NOTE THAT YOU NEED AN ADAPTER TOOL TO ATTACH THIS BB.
    The critic is not to the preformance of the product but to the fact that you can't use your normal Hollowtech II BB-tool but need an adapter too (i.e. Item number 38022 or 77526). This is not clearly stated in the description.
