bmx bb conversion
Anybody else beside Truvativ make one of the these? It's a bottom bracket
converter so you can fit a standard 68 or 73mm bottom bracket into an oversized American BB shell (BMX and older US bikes). Jenson used to have them but no more. TIA. |

Not too uncommon in the bmx world. http://www.danscomp.com/cgi-bin/haze...IL&item=455117 |

Quality Bike Products lists two or three manufacturers: http://harriscyclery.net/site/page.c...and=310&type=T which means that any bike shop in the US should be able to get one for you. Talk to the local BMX dudes- they'll know where to get them. Jeff |

Jenson used to have them but no more. TIA. BMX cranks are much stronger and better-looking than MTB and road cranks; why don't you just use one of those? Double- and triple-ring spiders for them are readily available: http://store.airbomb.com/ItemDesc.asp?IC=CR7298 http://store.airbomb.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=CR7049 The BMX sector is in the midst of a moronic infatuation with threaded BBs at the moment. As a result, "Euro" BB bearing assemblies for BMX cranks are a lot more common (and a lot more useful) than the type of adaptor you describe. BMX and freestyle riders evidently haven't yet figured out that threaded BB shells suck, but they long ago discovered that square taper spindles are suitable only for child riders. Anyway, here's what you are looking for. If you ask me, it's an expression of exceedingly poor taste to use one. But go right ahead if you must: http://www.danscomp.com/cgi-bin/haze...IL&item=455117 Chalo Colina |
