Title: profile cranks in an mtb frame...
Post by: toys19 on April 27, 2009, 08:12 AM

I have an orange p7 pro (in black) frame that I want to fit a set of profile cranks to, I currently only have bmx type bottom brackets. I've done a bit of googling and not found anything, is this possible, any ideas??

(Apologies if I'm in the wrong section)

you can get a Euro BB in 19mm or 22mm which is what MTB BB's are, just screw em in and bobs your uncle  :daumenhoch:

On some mtb frames you might need a slightly longer spindle if your planning to run a front mech setup

Just going single speed, turing it into a slick round town racer with no gears, I though it would look especially cool with a set of profiles on it...
 I have just been given a 1940's fixed wheel racing bike, and I want to get into single speed training before I go riding a nefarious fixed wheel bike...
