Matt Breeze Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 HiI have an onza t-pro, recently the bottem bracket has been making some bad noises indicating that it was shot, i took the old bottem bracket out of the frame and tried another bottem bracket in its place, but the new one did not fit, it pulled through the frame indicating that the threds had been stripped, i again tried a diffrent bottem bracket but i had the same problem i then replaced the original bottem bracket that was broken and it went in and tightened up fine . Is there an universal width to a bottem bracket? Just wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem in the past? And if so how did you go about fixing it?

Matt Breeze Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Do they not make a bottem bracket big enough for the oversized shell? if that is the case how much will it cost me? thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 No idea mate, but if anyone can get one for you its supercycles.My mate got one from ebay by accident, but I don't know if you will be able to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 its only the driveside cup that is oversized. if you want to change bb's you can take off the oversized cup and put it on a new bb.I had to do that because the axle length isnt long enough for some front f/w setups.Its really annoying still though because I cant use ISIS.
