Tomm Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 It depends on whether you're running ISIS or square taper. But yeah, you can't really go wrong with a wide BB, even if a narrower one will actually fit OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.loves.boys Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have a 113 in mine:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 This scares me - Why does Adam@Tarty say go for a biggus-bottombracketus when we are running much shorter with no problems?118mm on mine is fine (ISIS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Why does Adam@Tarty say go for a biggus-bottombracketus when we are running much shorter with no problems?So if/when you get a new frame you wont need a new BB as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 So if/when you get a new frame you wont need a new BB as well why would you need a new one? i dont think ill be riding anything other thn a deng frame so it should be fine, yes? longer bbs are weaker, so why deliberately weaken your bike?im not being sarcastic i genuinely want to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Fair enoughI assumed though that the topic starter was simply asking for his '04 Control, hence the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty22 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm just getting back into the trials scene so as long as the BB that was recommended fits my new frame I'll be a happy chappy. Cheers for all the interest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
