That is one of the best bottom brackets made. I always had good results with that bottom bracket.

I am going to install BB MT 500 hollowtech II BB and remove the front derailleur to make 1x8 systeam what would be spacers distribution

One on the drive side, two on the nondrive if BB is 68mm, none if 73mm

@@TonyHob, don't you have to consider the chainring position relative to the cassette? Isn't that what the spacers are for?

Hi, is it ok not to install the plastic sleeve in the center of a hollowtech BB? It is getting in the way of my dropper post internal cable so I am thinking not to install it. Thanks in advance.

It's to keep the axle clean so technically you can do without it but the exposed axle will slowly grind away at the cable if it rubs
