Mid or Spanish ?

[oldschool rider]

What are your views on these B/B, which do you prefer and why ?

  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.

I prefer a gaping US Hole..spanish looks way too tight for me

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...

Failure, Deluxe & DK as well I think.

my Proper Proclaimer has a spanish BB and it's fine

i've had both, and also the euro.

i've never had a single problem with any of the 3, altho i use a 19mm spindle.

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

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

Ok thanks guys for the info, I've just bought a new frame with spanish B/B now to decide which one.

when i bought my Proclaimer frame with Spanish BB, i just bought a DK spanich BB from custom riders (was the cheapest one) it's still as smooth as the day i installed it
