Title: Help with BB please
Post by: pickle on October 17, 2006, 04:28 PM: I've just got myself an old Sugino GT crank (well the arms) but as i have never been tempted (or been able to afford flights and so on) i have no experience with three piece cranks.

What BB should i get for these? and how easy are they to install? they will be going into a standard USA sized BB shell.

Many Thanks

Rob :daumenhoch:

Alans, Skatepool and Vert-Ego all do a BB for these, a standard 3 piece square tapered spindle :daumenhoch:

I have a spare one of those sugino bb sets if you are interested.

I'll have a look and find out what I paid for it.
