Which bottom bracket?

Posted on
  • I just bought a new frame (Raleigh Vitesse) to make in to a fixed gear.
    Can anyone tell me how I can find out the spec for the bottom bracket? It didn't come with one so I don't know what size it is.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • LMAO - I just been going through all this over the last few weeks.

    You'll have to do your research on Sheldon Brown.

    If you want a fixed gear, get a BB with width 107mm or 110 thereabouts. Also ensure you sort out the tapering question http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbtaper.html - this is important because otherwise your chainline will be messed up.

    Good luck.

  • i sincerely doubt you "laughed your ass off".
    that is all.
