my 2007 Madison has a Truvativ Cartridge square taper 68x108 bottom bracket... i was told that if I want to use BMX cranks all I need to find is a euro BB...true? I was looking at this (http://www.danscomp.com/451005.php?cat=PARTS) one - think it'll work?

chainrings are usually cheaper then BBs.

true enough. but it's a cool orange profile chainring. I like the look plus it should be fairly indestructible.
