Bontrager crankset BB cups....
I see a lot of Bontrager cranksets for sale on eBay and elsewhere.
Almost none have the BB cups to go on the BB shell. I bought one crankset, and it came with them. I bought another, Race Light triple, and it did not. Are these cups available, or am I SOL? (Shoot, Outa Luck) Thanks. |
I think bontrager uses GXP, which means you need a truvativ/SRAM BB.
I'm not 100% sure. |
that is what you get for buying trek trash

Thanks for the advice.
Bontager may be trash to some, but when you're trying to build a friend's daughter a bike for Christmas, you do what you can. I didn't realize I was so close to the Road Forum. |
Picked up some GXP, and thanks, folks.

just remember to use both spacers when installing on a 68mm BB shell.

And you'd be wrong.
68mm BB shell required both BB spacers on the GXP to be used with a truvativ triple. Otherwise the taller stepped portion of the axle won't rest on the BB properly, would leave a bad chainline and a rather large gap between the crank and BB on the drive side. |
