2008 Alu Langster BB crankset upgrade?

Posted on
  • My very old but much loved commuter slag is wanting for a BB upgrade as the old JIS square taper Sugino cartridge 68mm x 103mm (BSA UN-55?) had been creaking for a while now and the bearings are pretty shot, the Sugino cranks were damaged removing them too sadly.

    Can I switch to threaded cups (like the Shimano Hollowtechs?), I'm a little lost as to what BB and crankset combo would be a decent upgrade (Miche Primato) ?

    Anyone upgraded their old Aluminium Langster similarly?

  • I've changed a few Langsters to use SRAM S300 cranks and hope BBs, but there is no reason why hollowtech or BB386 cranks wouldn't work. There are not many GXP/hollowtech/etc. cranks that take 144BCD chainrings - 130 and 110 are more common.
