Matt Vandart Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 You really do need a 73mm bb with this frame and as long an axle as you can get. Especially if you are using maggies otherwise your left foot is gonna be catching the cylinder all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Will the Trialtech Sport Lite work with it? Ordered one but what you just said has scared me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Most bottom brackets are 68-73mm so you don't really have to worry about that just aslong as its about 128mm wide it will clear fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Sorry to be a doubter, it does fit but it doesn't fit very well at all which is why I had to go to a fsa 73mm bb. the crank on the left side is way nearer the chainstay than on the left and with a wide rim and maggie I rekon you would have clearance issues with your feet. There was a difference in clearance of like 5mm. The trial tech lite is a very good bb, I am not in anyway knocking that product. I did manage to fit it in the end by using cups from different bb's I had lying around, specifically from a try all bb and an fsa bb I think. But there you go.
