krazykid009 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Hey all, I today went down and picked up my first ever trials specific frame, a Diamondback Kabuki Mono, to replace the old Giant Boulder I was using before. Upon getting home i noticed that is has a really weird bottom bracket size, coming in at a 100mm shell. Does anyone know where I can get a bottom bracket that fits this, preferably square taper or if not then its going to have to be ISIS. I need to get one ASAP otherwise I have no bike to ride Please help me. Thanks James Edited August 26, 2010 by krazykid009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid009 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Have you tried here? Actually mate yes I did and the only ones I could find are through axles and the Howitzer which isn't compatible with any normal ISIS crank meaning I'd muck up my drive-chain as the crank-set that fits it uses a spider. I'm currently running a 18-16 but a crank-set with spider would mean i'd have to run 22-18, which would be completely different to what I run now.

Luke Rainbird Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 There are some about. Quick scan on CRC kicks up this one but that's big bucks, there are more reasonably priced alternatives out there. If all else fails, contact the place you bought it. They may well be able to get you a replacement. Remember that if you need to change frames you'll have to change BB too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you use normal ISIS crank-sets with it or is it done so that you can only use the Truvativ crank-sets Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Beware of howitzer stuff. Howitzer is a special spline that looks like ISIS but has a different taper to it. You can't use ordinary ISIS cranks with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hill Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 It took me bloody ages to find a replacement one for mine back when i had it. Local bike shop luckily sorted me out. Good luck finding one though, you're going to need it i imagine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Wasn't tryin to be a cock with that lmgtfy jobby, just never used it for owt before! The only one I found that'd work with normal ISIS cranks is that FSA one but it is very pricey! Just out of interest did you buy the frame brand new or 2nd hand??

The frame was second hand and it was cheap, and it's only for a muck around bike to use for school and stuff, and to ride until I get my mod in November. It won't get bashed around too much so dosn't need high spec components. I have found a Truvativ Howitzer BB on ebay and have got the Cranks that go with it from the guy who sold me the frame so it is all sorted now. Thanks guys for all your help.
