why

mude 11-30-05 09:47 PM

not you queens.

why do you care what kind of bb

I_Suck_At_BMX 11-30-05 09:53 PM

hes probably just trying to find a bb worthy enough to be trendy so he can be like all the other wanna-bes and have his bike built to someone elses specs and recomendations becuase for some reason or another thats the cool thing to do.

queensrider86 11-30-05 09:55 PM

he rides the same frame as me, with a euro bb. now i want a new frame....

mude 11-30-05 09:55 PM

unless you wanna spend a extra 40$ on a conversion kit than doesnt it depend on the frame?

I have American, but when I get the LAF or the Lary Bird, im gonna go to Mid. Because that's the ****.

queensrider86 11-30-05 11:36 PM

1.37"x24tpi (Euro), and a bag full of replacement bearings for when they get smashed.

racersk66 12-01-05 02:05 PM

And your point? I've smashed 'em, so obviously they *can* be destroyed. American bearings can be destroyed too, the same laws of physics apply. Most people don't realize that cartridges can often be replaced without replacing the entire BB unit, that's the beauty of BMX cranksets (vs most road and mountain cranksets which require specialized tools, bearing presses and the like). I like Euro 'cause they're easily serviced, bearings can be replaced and since all other things are pretty much equal, it just looks trick.

American. I bought my frame before the euro craze.

Brian 12-01-05 04:44 PM

Why? Seriously.

Darin 12-01-05 06:43 PM

What ever is on my Haro cruiser. Stock, not sealed. But have had no problems.

I_Suck_At_BMX 12-01-05 08:43 PM

The only BB I've ever broke is a isis on a feeble grind gone bad. The spanish I have now seem better but i havn't really smashed it yet.
