As promised mate, as I cannot go outside and photograph my Kastan
This is the old Redline BB. I needed a new one due to pitting on the bearing races:-
And this is the Tioga BB I bought from Ian, Moonster on Eaby:-
**Note...The gold lock washer does not fit on the axle without prior modification**
This is the thickness difference of the locking nuts, new to the left, obviously
The drive side bearing races are exactly the same:-
Redline:-
Tioga:-
The difference here is, the Tioga has the protrusion for the lock ring making it wider:-
So I fitted the BB cups and bearings using bith BB's and have found the following.
I set the BB cups 67 mm apart, the size of the BB on my Exhibitionist. Using the Redline BB, it looks like this on the axle:-
With the arm butted up to it:-
Using the Tioag BB
WITHOUT the lock ring, it looks like this on the axle:-
With the arm butted up to it:-
Basically, you will be fine if you don't use the lock ring as it doesn't go over the axle anyway. The arm will be tightened against the bb and then tightened to the axle so it will not come undone when riding it.
You can always modify the lock ring to fit and use the Redline lock nut if you want, as that is thinner
Hope that helps mate
