Title: BB for 401 flights??
Post by: deeman on January 03, 2019, 11:07 PM

It has been years since i owned a pair and i can't remember what i used last time!!!
What kinda thing do people use? i don't want the expense of a techmatic....i have seen some Tioga sets BB-22E 28tpi which look old school.

The one with the 19mm on your link will work on redline non threaded spindles but a pain too set up with spacers.

Profile do some great looking BB's look just like the OG ones. Use with 19mm six spline plain spindles, I think.
