sstein Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have a platinum pro bb in perfect condition. 127mm axle. There are silver spacers that go on the axle for the cranks to compress against and i am missing one. Was just wondering in anyone knew where i could get a new one or what I could use to replace it.

eskimo Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Shouldn't be overly hard to find one. Though i guess it'll depend on what cranks you're running possibly preventing any big sizes from being used. You tried your local hardware store? What size is the axle? Some bmx cranks use 22mm spacers of varying widths and that would be more than enough, perhaps? Find out the diameter..... [edit] Actually are those on there to extend the axle life? Like not wearing it out straight away because it's tapered.... If you get me Edited January 18, 2011 by eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get me I dont think it is to extend axle life, just to give the cranks something to press against. the bb is isis if you werent sure so it is a bit bigger than 22mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Odd design seeing as the others don't use a spacer. Good luck with finding. Maybe email CRC? or whoever distributes FSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
