help with BB and Cranks and Front Derailleur
Okay, I ride a '03 Giant Iguana Disc,
https://www.giantbicycles.com/us/030....03&model=10634
its time for a couple of new parts.
I need to get a new set of cranks, new BB, and new front derailleur.
Only problem is, I cannot find the measurments on the website or anything and am not sure what to measure myself. So if anyone can help me with this I will be very grateful.
BTW: just thought id add that looking at the Truvativ Hussefelt Triple crankset, Truvativ Giga Pipe Team SL Bottom Bracket, and SRAM X Gen Front Derailleur

There should be some numbers, either 68 or 73 and someting between 112 to 118 on the BB to let you know the size. If they are not there then give Giant a call. They are very easy to deal with. Here is the number 805-267-4600
On the front derailleur the size is usually marked inside the clamp (part that wraps around the seat tube). Again, if it is not there call Giant.
For the cranks, I believe they are 175s but you can get what you want there 165 - 180 depending on what type of cranks you get. I have not looked at an Iguana in many years so I am not sure what spindle they have but be sure if you get a splined BB you get cranks that match. Isis with Isis, Octalink with Octalink and so forth. If you get cranks and a BB from the same manufacturer you should not have a problem.
Lastly, post your question in the "mechanics" forum. You may get more responses.
