Anyone know if there is a difference between the bottom bracket cups that come with a xt crank vs. slx crank. My cups are looking pretty scratched up from a couple slipped wrenches, so i'm looking to replace them. Any downside with going to slx cups?
Last time I checked (trying to swap a Phil bearing into an LX cup) anything below XT has a narrower bearing. This probably means less bearing life.
Despite this, the dimensions for the bearing/cup are the same, so you can swap them with no problems.
