 :) Does anyone else use Spanish other than Fly,Macneil,T1? Personally I don`t favour 1 more than the other,though mid seems to be the industry standard.

the spanish is absolutely fine with a 19mm but imo starts to suffer with 22mm, the bearings arent that much bigger than the euro,

mid copes with both size axles with no problems but as an industry standard it was rushed through a little,

there are folk pushing for the whole bmx industry to adopt the bb30 bottom bracket standard so... ???

All fine, but I wish the industry would just decide on one and stick to it. My preference would be Mid 19mm & 22mm.

mid for me too :daumenhoch: had euro and my mate had spainish and now we both have mid, bearings are cheap (19mm anyway) no cups, bearings last for years :daumenhoch:

the euro bearings dont last aslong as mid bearings and u have the chance of damaging threads

my mates spainsh was one of the ones which came with plastic cups which warped/deformed and didnt fit when he put it into his new frame after being in his old frame for 6 months
