Hi,

I have got an FMF pro and checking the specs the Bottom Bracket is listed as "euro" ....would my redline flights with their Bottom Bracket fit into this "euro" size?

thanks ahead chaps

Only if you have a Euro BB on your flights.  A US BB is usually 68mm in diameter and has press in cups, a Euro BB is smaller (I think about 38mm) and is threaded so it screws into the frame.

hmm....so i guess i need to check then...in the mean time i currently have the bb fitted in a mongoose hooligan frame...do you know if they use us or euro bb??

No idea on the Hooligan, best thing to do is check is if it's bigger than say a MTB BB, if it's the same then it will probably fit.

i'll give it a whirl.
