Its ea Review: All is good - One year and counting! - I used this BB to install a 165mm Shimano HTII crank on my daughter's Trek 730 with a 68mm BB shell. The install was easy, item is a good quality, and the silver was a nice addition to her bike. It spins freely and has much less resistance than the ancient square taper BB that was originally installed in the bike. It's a reasonably priced piece that looks good too. I'd gladly purchase another if needed for a similar project. Review: Excellent value for the money - Excellent product at an excellent price. I removed my old square taper crank set and bottom bracket and replaced with this and I now hollow crank set. The fit was perfect, easy to install with torque specs in sight. Looks excellent and gives the bike a wider stance. Don't necessarily have the ability to speak on durability because I haven't owned it long enough yet but it's been on a few hard downhills and has held up extremely well so far ## Features - Enhanced seal construction offers superior durability and resistance against water and dust, extending your bottom bracket's service life. - Designed specifically for English thread frames, ensuring a secure fit with compatible bottom bracket shells for reliable performance. - Optimized for 24mm Hollowtech II crank spindles, delivering efficient power transfer and smooth pedaling experience. - Constructed with anodized aluminum cups, providing a lightweight yet high-strength component that reduces overall bike weight without compromising durability. - Ideal for road and mountain bikes, this bottom bracket combines innovative engineering with sleek silver styling for a clean, professional look and versatile use case. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BSGWH2JG | | Best Sellers Rank | #134,588 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #35 in Bike Bottom Brackets | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (78) | | Date First Available | January 17, 2023 | | Included Components | Bottom Brackets | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 4.07 x 2.39 x 2.39 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 4.69 x 2.4 x 2.32 inches | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Material | Steel Bearings | | Model Name | BB-RS501 Bottom Bracket | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Part Number | EBBRS501B | | Style | Bottom Brackets | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | ## Images ![SHIMANO BB-RS501 Hollowtech II English Bottom Bracket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dOAkv+NqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All is good - One year and counting! *by T***. on January 10, 2026* I used this BB to install a 165mm Shimano HTII crank on my daughter's Trek 730 with a 68mm BB shell.
