You'll need something like this BB:
There are cheaper generic sets out there. I think Alans had some a while ago :daumenhoch:

Yeah, that's them. :daumenhoch: Cheaper than I remember as well - which is rare in the wacky world of OSBMX. ::)

You need to find some nice dust covers to go with the cranks as those placker ones are a bit minging. Red or alloy/chrome effect ones would look much better IMO... :daumenhoch:
