Completely virgin to bottom brackets:

Greetings, All!

I've been riding a Univega (Maxima Sport) for a while now, but I've decided I want to replace the bottom bracket on it.

... Or the axle housing. Whatever. Don't heckle me.

You know. The thing the cranks attach to. The bottom bracket.

I know NOTHING about bottom bracket sizing/installation/etc.

In that, I suppose it's sort of silly for me to be window shopping for them, but I saw this one:

and decided it, or something like it, would be neat. I dunno.

I am lost like a puppy in the jungle.

Could someone explain to me how this all works, and/or what I need to know to select/install one?

Thanks.
