Jaffacakes Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 What size is the Axle? 19 or 22mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty r Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 i think its a 19mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Then any 19mm euro cranks. Primo hollowbites are around £100 now. Think they come in 19mm too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekes Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Euro bb will let you fit all mtb cranksets and BB's. Most road ones too (the ones with english thread, not italian thread) but I don't think you care about that As far as BMX cranks go, you obviously need a euro bb crankset. I advice to get some with a 19mm axle as it will leave more space compared to 22mm axles, this way bigger bearings can be placed. Make sure you bb shell is faced and retapped before installing your new bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Then any 19mm euro cranks. Primo hollowbites are around £100 now. Think they come in 19mm too.You meant 22mm, i know.Depends on the width of the shell too. Some bmx cranks struggle to fit well on mtbs due to the axle not being long enough. And i think chainstays tend to stick further out on mtbs meaning more spindle/ axle spacers required.You can get 3-piece mtb specific crank sets with bb and everything. Or you could just purchase some Raceface/ Middleburns or whatever and get a cheap FSA bb to see you through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
