beezerdude Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 do you need a certain type of bottom bracket to run a front freewheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone2be Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I pretty sure you dont, you just need the right length (i.e. shell x length) And the shell length is going to be either 68 or 73mm . To run a front freewheel you just need some cranks with thread on them, not like middleburns, like the new adamant,zoo,czar,gu,etc cranks.

ted Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 yes. you need a bb with enough length on it to fit the freewheel.about 127/128mm is enough.If you find the bottom bracket you want then post it on here, someone will tell you if it will fit.

Onza Kieron Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 SKF Bottombracket is only compatible with Monty freewheels, no other freewheels have enough clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
