steve@banbury-trials Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 would it not be possible to get a bb axle made especially for you by an engioneer or someone and use the bearings and cups from a standard bottom bracket ? the axle is only a metal tube with spines and a thread at both ends,so i imagine its possible.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
