Title: Got some Suntour VX cranks off e bay but b b looks strange...
Post by: spadey99 on April 17, 2013, 02:32 PM: Hi guys

I won this on e bay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/suntour-vx-old-school-three-piece-crank-set-/111050228977?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=CfMWhJo9hw0AyX6y86xhxa3hY30%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I have a few 3 piece crank old square b bs but was wondering what the b b in the picture is? Is it a old school racer threaded one? Just wanted to know if its gona be any use and if not for my BMX then if anyone has a use for it let me know.

That BB is for a euro bb ie smaller , often found on mini/junior bmx's . I would be interested in it for my mini Haro if your selling it ;) I could trade you for a normal square taper american BB .

Definitely a great price. The BB alone is worth £20 :coolsmiley:
