Scwinn World Sport mid 80's how to measure bottom bracket?
I am purchasing this crank to convert my schwinn world sport
https://cgi.ebay.com/EIGHTHINCH-FIXED...d=p3286.c0.m14
It requires a 103mm square taper, how can i measure my square taper to know that it will fit?

Hi ewingmaster. yes, as Jeff stated.that BB will work. I was looking at that 1/8 crank. you know you need a new chain right? the 'pitch of the teeth is not compatible with your "10spd" 3/32 chain
did you get you cog or single speed freewheel yet?

yes, thank for your reply,the whole reason i am converting this bike is becuase i scored a track wheel set for $100 its a flip flop hub with 16 tooth cogs on both sides, i found a chain on the crank dealers website to fit it

You don't have to measure anything. The bottom bracket shell on a World Sport is English thread- that's all you need to know.

hey by the way how do i install something like that bracket does it thread though the right side down onto the left side? Do i need any special tools or should i take it to a local bike shop after i paint the frame and ask for them to install it for me?
