In need of a bottom bracket... please see this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread50123.html Still don't quite understand how it happened. The bottom bracket wasn't a Miche Primato as I had presumed, it was a shimano of some form. I'm guessing it got a little rusty when I had to cycle it in rain previous week.

Been riding around one legged last couple days as I'm too paranoid to lock up my geared bike.

BC 1.37 68 which is common english threading from what I gather? And spindle length is 103mm ss.

Any help getting hold of a non expensive BB would be greatly appreciated! Any help removing and replacing BB would be overly appreciated and would be rewarded with beer/roth.

Thank you !

Yeah... didn't have much choice. Did 40 odd miles on Monday, ha. Fixed and clipless it's okay, bit slow on the hills. Gets frustrating accelerating at junctions.

Does anybody know where I may find a 103mm square taper bottom bracket?? Neither LBS has any, nor does Wiggle. Any suggestions ?

VeloSolo has some according to their web site:

Token Square Taper JIS or ISO Bottom Bracket

Just over half way down the page. They're the cheapest I've found for a new 103mm JIS.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
