Transmission database - for all your crank / bb / bottom bracket questions

Just some stock Quando hubs on the wheels - is that what you mean? Didn't realise the BB depended on the wheel hubs!

check the first post of this thread for combinations that work.

looks like a 107mm BB might work. so one of these.. https://brixtoncycles.co.uk/product/90252/shimano-bb-un55-bottom-bracket-british-thread-68-107-mm/

Thanks a lot! Think I'll pick up one of these

Anyone in here ever used barelli track cranks and know what size bottom bracket I’d need with them?

What sort of tension should my chain be running Alfine 8 with horizontal dropouts?
I'm struggling to get it anything but pretty loose at the moment.

Didn't see it on the first page:

Anyone know what spindle length is needed to get a 47.5mm chainline on the old Sugino-made 94/58BCD White Ind. cranks?

Thanks.

I've got a 2018 Chisel with a FSA BSA Threaded BB. Went on wiggle chat for advice and they said as it's SRAM, the only compatible one was a prime bb, which had bad reviews. Any advice for a replacement? Cheers :)

Any decent fixed crankset for at most ~150€ needing a 107mm ISO BB that isn't Miche? I have a frame with a Miche BB stuck in it (teeth are completely gone on both sides)

EDIT: Must be available in silver!

Is there any particular reason why I shouldn't use a headset removal tool to remove a press fit BB?

I have a caad12 frame with a BB30 bottom bracket.
I have an existing GXP crankset I’d like to fit.

I’ve seen you can buy an English adaptor, which apparently has the added benefit of reducing creaking. Would the additional width of the external BB pose issues with Q factor? Am I making this needlessly complicated? Cheers :)

So; new project for the GF. Has a stuck Shimano 107mm BB in the frame, will I need a track crank to clear the chainstay? Haven't given the BB the full beans yet but likely stuck as its alu, luckily its buttery smooth. Ideally would like to run a double on the front but want to see what cranks we need first.

I'm measuring a triple inside ring which is why these numbers are a bit weird
If a 113mm BB in a 73mm shell gives me a 40mm chainline
What BB do I need for a 45mm chainline?
Thanks

GXP BBs are the stupid ones with 22mm at one side aren't they?

So, if I want to swap in Shimano cranks on the Mason I'd need to remove the Quarq cranks and the GXP BB.

Actually I already own 46/40 P2M gravel cranks. So I could just rip them off the gravel bike, along with the BB and stick them in the Mason. Then I could maybe get a Wolftooth and run a 11-46T cassette on the gravel bike with the Quarq cranks on it.

Fucksake I've really no idea. Just looked and the Kinesis BB is actually a MegaExo one, so I guess the gravel P2M cranks use FSA BBs. But they're still different to the GXP ones that Quarq uses.

If MegaExo is "normal" 24mm both sides and BSA 68mm or whatever, then could I just use standard Shimano BB with the P2M cranks? What's different about MegaExo?

I think these are the ones:

BB386EVO - what fucking bottom bracket do I need to use with Shimano cranks?

I don't want to use an adapter inside the BB. When I had a bb30, I used the praxis thing.

(I've got my eyes on a 105 groupset going on the frame I have)

Anyone got any experience with the screw together "pressfit" BBs? Need to replace a BB86 and it's appealing in that I wouldn't need to get my hammer out to extract the BB when it needs changing next time but that's only if it's not a stupid idea when in actual use

How can I replace mine free hub Shimano FH-RM70 to do it fixed? 32 holes, need delivery to Germany, pls, have you any ideas? Budget close to 30€

Removing the outer of a triple (forum favourite Shimano 6603) to make a sub-compact. If I am going without a bash/ chain guard to replace it, I assume I need new chainring bolts? Stridsland specials?

I've used the Token 7 in 1 BB and switched between bb386, bb30 and GXP cranks no problem. I replaced the bearings once, and wasnt too difficult. I do have a bearing extractor tool though, that is a little bit more sophisticated than a hammer, but not much!
