Dan6061 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 If the actual axle size is the same, but the shape is different, i'm sure you can just wack a new axle in your current bearings.That's what my mate did anyway, don't know what type of BB it is though...Spanish? S&M LAF frame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hopefully it's sorted by now but as i'm here;USA bb: Mid bearing in cups, push into frame.MID bb: Same as USA but they don't sit in the cups, they just push into the frame.SPANISH bb: Same as MID but smaller sized bearings.EURO bb: MTB style but with removable axle.22mm axles: Primo, Old WTP, RNC, FSA, FLY and Odyssey. That's all i can think of.19.05mm axles: The rest...What DK cranks are they? If they have a pinch bolt they're probably not the best. DK cranks are really good, their stuff is coming along well. Give us a shout if you need any more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Walker Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 may aswell ask here, how do u get a us bb out, do you just have to whack it out or what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yep, push the spacer off to one side then get something blunt like a socket extention and pop the bearings out with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
