Which are better in your opinion(Euro, Spanish, Mid or American)?

Are there any pros and cons to any single one?

Which is the strongest?



Also i read that you need 3/4" spindle's for Mid BB. Is this true or can you buy Mid BB's that will accept a 22mm spindle (Primo crank size...), also that spanish takes the 22mm spindles, but becuase i have Primo cranks and they have 22mm spindles i was wondering which kind of BB will be best for when im getting my new frame. (Either a 21" Barcode or an S&M Stricker Euro[on sale] or maybe a Mid)

they probably arent tightend up properly, tighten up the bolt that holds your sprocket to the arm then if your cranks have pinch bolts loosen them and then tighten up the other bolts that go into the spindle as tight as you can, then retighten the pinch bolts as tight as you can get em, that should stop the creaking, if there is a space in between the crank arm and the bearing after you tighten up the spindle bolt then you might need to get a few spacers to go inbetween there, that might be why its creaking because the cranks cant get tight enough

**** it. ride it with the noise. don't fix ****,bro. leave everything alone. if your headset is loose, then leave it.
crack the bearings and ride with them. that will make you a HARDCORE RIDER.
If you get a flat. Ride on your rims.after you bend your rims, you pour kerosene inside your pegs and light them on fire, so when you grind your pegs shoot sparks.
You should get Mag Rims too.
