Hi there,
I'm looking to buy a square taper JIS bottom bracket;
size 68mm X 119 or 120mm. This would be to go in a 753 steel frame.
The only options that I've found are :
a) Acor bottom bracket
Stronglight JP400 in steel (a few pounds more for a lighter one with alloy cups)
c) Shimano UN54
All of these retail for about £15 - price isn't an issue.
What I would like to know is:
Are any of these to be recommended or avoided ?
Can anyone recommend any other BB which is significantly better ? (Does anyone have anything better that they'd wish to sell ?)
Are there any problems with using alloy cups in a steel frame ?
Thank you for any advice/info.
