  i need some bottom bracket advice

  my bearing shattered on my bottom bracket which is an old style raleigh bb lose bearings type like this http://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/bicycle-parts/bottom-brackets/raleigh-bottom-bracket-set.html

  i wanted to upgrade it to a nice new sealed bb my shell is 68mm but the old spindle is 140 mm would a 68mm x 110 bb fit or should i opt for the 126 ?? i was also goig to buy a new chain set as the old one was a cottered double chainring im using the inside 39t chainring at preset which seems to give a nice chain line its just clearance/chain line issues im worried about =S

  thanks

  elteclub? Sadly, many of my friends and acquaintances actually use that phrase, when they had meant Health Club. Interestingly, these associates are all from one country.

  Nevermind. The point greaser_tony, is that if you're on here writing stuff, it means you can read also. There is a multitude of answers to the questions that you have posed. Use The SEARCH function (UTFS) please, because no-one here will have the time nor inclination to hold your hand, and answer what has already been answered.......or is most painfully obvious from the simplest of Google Searches.

  If you won't make a bit of effort to find out the answers, apart from just asking outright, then initial good grace toward you, would vanish in short order.

  Do yourself and others here a favour - ask questions that you cannot easily find the answer for.....then we will help.

  the 'freestyler' plug get badly slated because of how it look, but the bike itself is fine, it's a decent bike.

  thanks that put my mind at rest i was going to go for the galvanized 2010 one

  was just wondering if you guys could suggest any other decent otp bikes for around the same price as the plug?? just so i got a few other choices i can think about

  hi im looking to get an otp fixed gear, coming from a bmx backround i really dont have a clue about track frames, i was going to go for a charge plug freestyler but saw how badly they got slated on here and it gave me second thoughts on shelling out the 500 notes for one ..any suggestion on what to get would be great =D
  i basically want something i can jump down a few stairs on wheelie about and not worry about breaking it, hence why i was going to opt for the plug freestyler
