Will this work?

  • Shimano 105 BB-5500, sealed cartridge
  • Octalink V1 spline (5mm deep)
  • 68mm English thread, BC 1.37×24
  • 118.5mm spindle — triple cranksets
  • Fits FC-5500/5503, 6500/6503, 7700/7703
  • Includes: BB unit, both cups

Condition: Excellent condition. Threads are clean, splines are sharp, cartridge spins smooth. Lots of miles left.


Notes from MyBikeThing: Octalink V1 is discontinued, and anyone running a 9-speed-era 105, Ultegra, or Dura-Ace crank needs exactly this to keep it alive. Sealed cartridge, fit and forget — these routinely outlast the bikes they’re installed on.

Workshop Wisdom: Don’t confuse Octalink V1 (5mm splines, road) with V2 (9mm, MTB) — cranks and BBs don’t cross over. If your crank is FC-5500/6500/7700 family, this is your unit.

Guarantee: You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition 🙂
