Hi,
I recently came into a 2006 Madone frame fitted with the older Trek BB90 BB (it has external cups, not the simple 2 part design they have nowdays).
The bearings are set up for a Shimano crank. I would like to swap them out so I could use SRAM cranks. Could I use a conversion kit like this one.... http://www.fudgescyclestore.com/index.php?p=101431? These kits should fit the olders BBs right?
Also anyone got any experience swapping out the bearings on these BBs? They seem pretty well jammed in. Would this tool do the trick?... http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=25&item=BBT-90
Any advice help here would much appeciated. Thanks!
