that def right size blah blah blah

i fookin hate BB...... the only part of a bmx that drive me nuts with rage trying to fit   !!!!

Yes they'll fit fine dude, and the green bits (bearing covers) will be hidden when fitted....  :daumenhoch:

mattuk:
betty. the cups and bearing i have something aint right they look to be a good 1mm out all round. an elephant stamping on them wouldnt even get them in im sure, ive sanded a good 0.5mm all round inside of cup  took nearly half hour and still no where near at all

just gonna get a full new set where the bearings are already in cups and then piece of wood and a rubber hammer will do the rest,  my other bike i did in 5 mins with this method piece of piss!

dont know why this fookers causeing so many probs  

mattuk:
right final verdict please fellas

gusset ones for £19.99 free delivery
or
diamond back ones for £13.99 + 1.99 delivery

are they both likely to be fookers to fit or gusset slightly better made?

Betty:
They're more than likely all made in the same factory just with different names on so i'd buy the cheapest

+1, they're all much the same, just in different packaging. As Betty has said they will be tight, after all they're an interference fit & a vice pushes them in pretty evenly Once You get going.
Btw I might've tracked down a chrome brakeplate for You to go with those Superforks, I'll let You know  :daumenhoch:
