Title: flight bb help please
Post by: markyp on September 12, 2010, 05:28 PM
ive had this beartrap 28t bb kicking about for a while and i was wondering if its flight crank compatable?im guessing as its a 28t then it will be just like the mongoose bb often used with flight cranks.my second question is that im guessing its only compatable with an early spindle such as  the dimple spindle??any help appreciated  chaps  :daumenhoch:

Well it's been 25 years since I fitted one but if my memory serves, these are a tight fit to get the locknut on because of the integrated nut on the bb 'cone' thingy. There doesn/t seem to be enough thread on the dimpled axle. Mongoose BB's don't have that problem.

Hey Marky, I was after one of those 28T bb for ages for the pinchless flights on my next build. I finally got one from the states and was told it will work fine on the flights  :daumenhoch:

Not done the build yet though fella.. so can't guarantee it so fingers crossed  :daumenhoch:
