Advice on bottom bracket

(1/3) > >>

Noste500:
Be gentle , I'm learning ;-)
I need to buy a new bottom bracket bearing set for my gt fueler 1995.
When I look at options it offers 19mm or 22mm .
I've measured the threaded part of my 1 piece crank and its 22mm outer diameter .
Also I note from my model its a USA size bb.
Does this mean I need a 22mm size bearing set ?? (I realise I need the USA option )
Seem to be more 19mm on offer ...
Don't want to buy the wrong one 😉
Cheers in advance

Glenn 19 should be fine. I'll pop one over to you when I find a brake  :daumenhoch:

Gary72:
Sounds like your looking at 3 piece crank bottom brackets and you have a 1 piece crank :)

Thanks Nick 😊

What does the 19/ 22mm denote on the descriptions online ?
Is is the diam of the threaded part of the crank ?

Gary72:
it refers to the diameter of the axle. Most 3 piece cranks use either a 19mm or 22mm sliding axle.
There are some exceptions. There are 20mm, 24mm and some imperial sizes like 7/8 and 1 inch.
Pop up a pic of what you have.
