I need some new cartridge bearings for my BB. Bike Tools ETC (http://www.biketoolsetc.com) has them, but I'm not sure about the measurements they give. For example," The B6001 has the following measurements-- ID 12,0; OD 28,0; Thick 8,0mm. Dual-lip full contact seals. 90% grease fill with Mobilux 2 waterproof grease". What is ID and OD?

just a guess but.... inside diameter and outside diameter?:confused: If you wait till you get your cranks it normally shows the exact bb to use with it. (I did that with my shimano ultegra cranks)

My bike uses an unusual BB. I have a 93 Gary Fisher MT TAM. It uses a spindle, cartridge bearings, and snap rings. I wish I had a threaded cartridge BB.
