B.B. Shell Width 68mm, english threaded but i've been told trying to get a BB that fits a BMX crank can be difficult. Can someone explain why it might be a faff/what i need to do. I'll put my hands up here and admit I'm not exactly that up to scratch with BB/crank fitting - its always been a bit of a bodge job whenever i've come to do it.

you should be able to just use a euro BMX BB, but the spindle will be longer than ideal although you can get shorter spindles (Profile make one I think)

bmx cranks have different widths and types of axles. e.g. profile use splined, primo use a square arrangement with pinch bolts.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
