thanks mate
i need a 19mm one

Title: Re: what type is this bottom bracket?
Post by: oberonspacefruit on January 15, 2007, 02:06 PM

why, are prolines 19mm? im sure they are bigger.


put it this way, i tried fitting a new profile bearing onto the shaft of my prolines yesterday, and it didnt fit.

yes, maybe....but the axle is chamfered? (goes thinner) so the bearings will go on further.

not trying to be a pain , they may fit, but i would really measure it first, im sure its bigger.


slap me next time if im spouting shit.

Title: Re: what type is this bottom bracket?
Post by: theRuler on January 15, 2007, 02:12 PM

Probably 20mm, I have a set of cranks with a 20mm axle.  I also have a spare profile hopup set which I thought would fit.  Doh!

Title: Re: what type is this bottom bracket?
Post by: theRuler on January 16, 2007, 11:24 PM

it is 20mm. and the spindle is 19 and a bit mm. the bit means it wont go in a 19mm bearing
