Yes, we know you're loath for us to remind you of the impending approach of winter, but it's just around the corner and it ain't gonna be easy on your bike, so why not be prepared? Pad-eating grit, chain-consuming salt and a kind of persistent dampness you thought only existed in the bottom of wells will be the norm for the next few months, and you better hope you're ready to handle it.
Even the best preparation won't stop the wear of consumable parts on your bike, but here at BikeRadar we have worked with Evans Cycles to bring you a selection of the best bargain replacement parts to help you get through the colder months.
Shimano XT M8000/Ultegra 6800 bottom brackets — £29.99 £19.99/£23.99

Unless you've fitted your bike with mudguards, your bottom bracket is likely to be subject to a near constant spray of muck from the road, which given time can ingress into your bearings and cause havoc. Luckily decent replacement BBs are readily available and these two options from Shimano are well worth your consideration.
Featuring far superior sealing to their cheaper brethren, these Ultegra/XT level bottom brackets should last for years to come.
