    Hi

    I currently have 105 chainset and BB and would like to know if it is possible to fit a Dura Ace BB and still use the 105 Chainset. Anyone know if this will work?

    Cheers

    Possible, but DURA ACE Bottom Brackets are not the best in reliable seals. Ultegra BB is a much better value.

    I know some guys that ride Dura Ace or Ultegra cranksets with 105 BBs for the same reason. Other than cost, and a few grams are there any reasons why you wouldn't use the Ultegra BB over a 105?
