I just got an early 80's schwinn japan made. Seems like all the components are schwinn approved, shimano freewheel...been picking it apart and admiring, and formulating a battle plan to get it on the road. It definitely needs a new BB. It is rough, thankfully the outer frame shows no corrosion, but inside the bb definitely is gunked.
anyway-
Anyone know what kind of threads this bike will have on the BB? I have been thinking that it is a sugino- also japanese? I don't have the bb tool right now, but I have a suspicion which tool it is, cost me a couple of 6 packs to borrow one from the LBS to do another BB.
seen some sugino tools on ebay which look like they would fit.
another one:
BB measurements. having a hard time figuring out what those mean? are they spindle lengths, bottom bracket dimensions, cupsizes, what?
