Installing a sealed bb is easy, but you will need to buy the right tool that matches your particular bb's end cups.
The VP130 is a road crankset. I measured 118mm with a tape measure-and yes, it looks like it could have 3 chainrings. Also, one taper is slightly longer than the other. I wonder if I could go with a 113mm, then flip the chainring to the outside of the crank spider, which would move the chainline about 5mm outward.
