A build for my Youngest "Lolo" (with some wheel building tips)
BADDH:
Just got the megatastic shiney TA crank for this build, so a big thanks to that man ;)
I just need the blue Robbo Pads and a Euro BB for it now, anyone help me to identify what the BB is for the Junior BB ?
Andy68:
This is the BB you'll need for example 1.37x24T http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tioga-Euro-Bottom-Bracket-1-37-x-24-Vintage-NOS-Old-School-BMX-MTB-Fixie-Road-/141365706860?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ea0d806c
The problem with these mini's is finding the correct spindle so ya cranks miss the chainstays. Just ask Nick!!! :LolLolLolLol:
I may be able to sort you out, maybe!!! ;) Can you measure approx the widest point of ya stays, I presume ya cranks are 165 ish? Just offer them up roughly so you'll see where they have to clear. :daumenhoch:

Just found this old message I sent to Steve when we were trying to sort one out............ :daumenhoch:
Spindle length is 115mm approx on my mini Champion, just measured the mini MRDs and they seem to be roughly 125mm. I guess it depends wot frame its going in, the shape of the chainstays & the crank lengths so you have enough clearance at the 'bends'.

I've just realised .... :LolLolLolLol:
I have unboxed one from a 1983 Robinson Mini I have, that's 125mm so I guess that's the one I need to find.
Anyone got a 125mm Euro BB complete with bolts ????
BADDH:
Parts arriving for the build nicely now, I can't take credit for the Bling that's my Uncle Joff 's and Phil's handy Work
