Title: Bottom Bracket Question
Post by: losidan on October 16, 2008, 02:57 PM

Hello,
Can i please ask a question?

is it possible to get a set of redline flights with chainring to fit on an MTB...??

i could be wrong here........but i think the flights use a 19mm axle so i think the only MTB frame it would run on is a DMR trailblaster or something like that which runs a BMX style US bb.

might be wrong though??

You can get euro BBs with 19mm spindles (eg profile), but Ive no idea what else you would need to get flights on an MTB.

 Just buy a Euro bottom bracket set,use the spacers for chain alignment and you`re all set.
