Greetings Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) 68mm shell, width depends on the cranks but 118mm should be alright.edit: definitely 118mm, i remember having problems with the chain line when running a 128mm bb.

superstar Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi,I am running a ko bb from www.trials-uk.co.uk 45 quid i think maybe 50. A spacer came with the bb and i was advised to use it on the drive side before i fitted the bb to the bike. this i did and runs no problemsIts 128mm and 68 mm (hence the sapcer) and i have no problems with chain lines, in fact it is running very well.I am using echo cnc cranks a tensile freewheel with an echo bash and an fixed 6 speed cog on the back.Hope this gives u an idea buddydo you know if the echo isis bb will fit, it can be 122.5mm or 127.5mm axel?thanksbenthat 127.5mm will do the trick buddy, are you going to run a bash and what cranks you running?cheers Adie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i imagine it will make the actual lenght sticking out your frame a bit less. Have a chat to someone from tartybikes or somewhere to find out buddy.cheersAdie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superstar Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 oki thanks, wel would a try-all 127.5 or 122.5 fit the pitbull 07 long?thanks benGet the 127.5 tryall or any 127.5 mate as thats the lenght you will need, if you are running a front free wheel and a bash you will have enough room so that the freewheel don't lock up and your cranks will be tight, all will be well.You might be able to use the 122 if you run a fixed font cog instead of the front free wheel, but this is something i am not sure about as i only ever run front free wheel.
