hi i have a nice frame sitting doing nothing as it has no bottom bracket fitted , how do i owrk out what size to use ?? cant remember what make , will add when remembered .
What make frame is it?
I seem to recall that unless its an Italian frame, the threads will be English.
Then just measure the width of the shell, to give you the width.
I would recommend fitting a Hope stainless steel BB or even the ceramic version. Just buy the road version and it comes with shims, so at least it covers your options.
Yes, it may be more than you would like to spend, but they knock the OE fit ones into a cocked hat. They are so smooth and also come in nice colours to.
