Adam-Griffin Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 How do you mean ? i don't understand what makes you think it wont fit, it won't work with Square taperedf cranks if thats what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresswell_d Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well I thought the with it being .5mm bigger the outer casing would be bigger.But its not. What are good ISIS bottom brackets out there on the market?Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Go for the truvativ link. Heavy but strong and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The lengh of bb is your choice. You just need to measure the frame width. I believe it should be 68mm. So having 128mm bb should be ok as long as it fits the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So having 128mm bb should be ok as long as it fits the frame.Not necessarily, you need to take into account what Drive train he's using, if theirs a Freewheel and a bash ring then a 128/127.5 will be needed also if the pistons stick out a longer BB axle could be needed again.

Cresswell_d Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have front freewheel with no bash ring. (I use the standed Zona bash plate.)Daz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 127.5/128 mm is the size you want for a ffw, also with this size you can run a bashring on it or just ffw. Try-all or truvative gigapipe bb's are probably two of the best, but the try-all is slightly expensive, i got mine half price from tarty during the xmas sale XDAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
