  • I never understand these bike checks where people have to look at the parts before they can tell you what they are.

    Comes across as if that kid has just been bought a bike by mummy n daddy.

    Anyway, Spanish frame to euro cranks, no idea. Didn't think it was possible. Could that be a V1 Scissor in the vid?

    Also, why the hell did Charge go with Spanish? I had a bmx frame with a Spanish bb shell a few years ago and it was nigh on impossible to find a bb for it, everyone just uses mid no?

    Thanks for the input,

    I know what you mean. Poor lad didn't know the difference between a stem and a headset. We've all got to start somewhere I suppose.

    Yeah, the Charge is a bit of a cluster fuck BB wise. Mid or at least Euro would have been the way to go, as at least you've got options regarding different setups. I was hoping to to build a cheap bike up with parts I have sitting around doing fuck all.

    The only other option I can think of is using a threadless YST BB. I've offered up a Square Taper and the diameter seems right. I'm pretty sure it's a V2 in that video.

    Maybe someone else might have some experience with this frame and BB options.

    Cheers
