I'm looking for a Shimano BB-5500, compatible with a 105 5500 double chainset, 68mm BB shell and English thread.
 
Trying to remember if that's the hollow tech type? ive two dura ace ones there the ones with replaceable balls/rollers
 
Yes, it's the Octalink one, which appears to have sealed bearings...

It would appear that the 6600 ultegra 109.5mm BB also fits.
 
Hi i don't think it will fit then as thought 105 was octalink 2 dura ace/ultegra/XTR was the same as many used the XTR one for there road bike triples as in between the road sizes (xtr 112.5/116mm) dura 109.5?/118mm.
Have a look at splines if all the same xtr/dura/ult fits if has a few wider gaps it's octalink 2 which xt and lower is the same.if that makes sense?.

right just checked it is octalink v1 so is the same as dura ace etc

but what axle length you after? you might just struggle to find the sealed ones though? something i remember along the lines of wooden horses and poo?lol
