What makes this bottom bracket special?
The Shimano 105 5500 series emerged in the late 1990’s (1998). This series overhauled the 105 lineup with the first integrated shifter / lever in a 9 speed setup. Additionally, the cranks and bottom bracket implemented Shimano’s top of the line Octalink system which put the groupo into the top tier racing componentry with Dura-Ace and Ultegra.

Making Sure it Fits
The majority of bottom brackets come in the form of a cartridge. Because press fit brackets are rare and are simple to assure the fit, we won’t go into any detail on those.
Cartridge bottom brackets require a little thought. First, the spindle type
, second, the thread type
, and third, the shell width. Spindle type
will be determined by your crankset. Popular are: square taper (Campy), Shimano’s Hollowtech and Octalink, FSA’s EXO’s and splined Power Drive.  On certain cranksets the width is important (double vs triple)
Once you know the spindle type, you need to know the thread
. The thread of the bottom bracket screws directly into your frame. There are two thread types, English (1.37×24) and Italian (36×24
). For help in determining your thread, please visit our bottom bracket portfolio.
The  shell width
only differs with mountain bikes. Road bikes are standard at 68mm.
