bb bearings

(1/1)

Pottinger:
hey guys

so i have a us bb unsealed with a 3 pc crank to be fitted.

I seem to be getting conflicting searches on the bearing orientation... :(

basically, bearings facing out/cage on inside so the cone screws down on them works alot better than
bearings facing inwards/cage on the outside....

anyone actually know for sure or does it not actually matter ???

any help appreciated muchly  :)
