Title: BB CUPS for gusseted MONGOOSE frames
Post by: black rat on July 30, 2005, 04:52 PM

Can anyone please help point me in the right direction ...

I require some BOTTOM BRACKET Ball Bearing CUPS for a few of my
frames...

Where can I find them ?   ???

Any info regarding  m o n g o o s e  1P cranks and the parts that ,make them up,
would be very much appreciated.

I have seen METAL BB CUPS,  NYLON / PLASTIC CUPS on frames... but have struggled to locate
new ones for frames that have them missing.

Here are some pictures...

Thankyou for your reply...

Any idea, if I am likely to find any NOS Mongoose BB Kits (With Cups) ?

Similar to the Bearing Kit pictured below :
