All,
I am trying to repair my son's road bike that he uses for commuting.
The last time I had to do a repair, I was planning to replace the cup-and-cone BB bearings with
something like an UN300 unit. However, I could not do this as I was unable to remove the fixed
cup; I got it 1/2 way out but it was twisted so I screwed it back in and replaced the caged bearings.
Anyway, this time I did get it out but the threads on the frame are badly damaged. I though this
might be game-over for the frame until I discovered threadless bottom brackets.
They seem to come in a variety of sizes. I am 99% sure the width of the frame part is 68m
but my concern is the spindle length as it seems to fall between 2 values shown in the advert.
(I measured it at 125 mm - see pics below)
options are: 110, 113, 116, 119, 122.5, 127.5
Here is a picture of the spindle. Which one do you think I should get?
Just to add. I think the original chainset was a triple but it currently has a double. Are any of
the sizes listed above compatible with both? The original bike is a 2010 Vitesse Sprint but it has
been heavily customised and about the only remaining part is the frame.
Thanks
Ben
