Replacing a "Customized" Bottom Bracket

[gminator]

I have a Shimano M762 XT custom for Specialized Bottom Braket on an 08 Specialized Epic.

 

The thing is dying making all sorts horrid noises and stuff, but Im not sure what they mean by "customized". Will I have to get it from the specialized agents or did they just "customize" the branding on the BB so that I can replace it with any other external bearing bb.

This is the one I'm looking at getting, its looks simmilar to mine.

Im pretty sure all you need is a standard Shimano Threaded BB like the link you posted

It shows the BB you need on their archive

Seems you have the correct one : Shimano M762 XT custom for Specialized

I had a look at that archive as well I was sort of hoping to replace it with the exact same part.... I thought specialized may have done something weird that only allows the "Shimano M762 XT custom for Specialized" to be fitted to that frame as opposed to other normal BB's.

 

But if the one on CRC is gonna work then Ill take it.

Maybe pop into one of the Spez shops. They might have something else that will fit and might be much cheaper as well.
