@Hoonz: Wow 20 years? Maybe I will swap to some Sugino 75's at some point then, but for the minute I'll stick with cartridge.

Not necessarily. I have a square taper cartridge bearing BB in my lo-pro which has the outer edges of the bearing outside the width of the BB shell.

It's an incredibly rare boutique brand from the early 90s, I'd be surprised if there's another one in the country. A great design if you didn't mind a slightly time consuming installation, since the axle had no shoulders and end float was controlled by shimming between the cranks and the bearing inner race. Centre-centre distance on the bearings is about 65mm, and with 32mm OD bearings (6002 with a non-standard 5/8" bore) they occupy most of the space between axle and BB threads, so the cups themselves are ultra light.

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.
