Title: Euro BB 19mm
Post by: Dark Diggler on May 08, 2007, 05:55 PM

Are these any good for profiles, I know they say so but has anyone used em? http://www.customriders.com/prodshow.asp?prodid=7538&cat=8&parent=1001&sid=3
 Or shall I spend £11 more and get the profile one?

Taaa  :daumenhoch:

their probably the same, bearings are bearings like labels they just hike the price up ;)

I use one of those on my cruiser, I bought from custom riders website so it is the same one.  I have had it 18 months now and no problems at all with it.

All bearings are generic these have a good shell that doesnt require a special tool so go for it.
No crank manufacturer (to my knowledge) make bearings they just buy em in an put there name on em.
Only prob is Euro bearings use a very small bearing so they have to run 2 bearings on each side!
They are prone to imploding but if installed correctly an maintained can last for ages.
