Title: New Redline flights
Post by: Dark Diggler on May 24, 2007, 09:50 AM: Just got a set from the states and the bearings are ok, but will need replacing soon, are they the same as Profiles i.e 19mm or are they 20mm as I think having measured them ???

Oh and has anyone got any o/s decals yellow/ green , they are going on this:

Post by: brass monkey! on May 25, 2007, 09:19 AM: do you need spannish then ? I thought they were non threaded versions of the Euro BB, made for bike produced within the last 2 years ?? and why are they called spannish ? :D

Post by: oberonspacefruit on May 25, 2007, 02:53 PM: fook knows how you did that. I thought spanish bb were same as US bb, but a smaller bottom bracket, on the frame. Allegedly spanish bb are just the bearings, without alloy cups that the bearings sit in.

saying all that, that bike looks well with them cranks on now.....good job my man!
