But after more research I've come to the conclusion that I most likely have standard BSA english threads. From what I saw my existing BB ES25 comes also with italian threading but that is mostly used on road bikes. Also the axel length 67 or 72 doesn't seem to matter much as most BBs are 68 with option to be 73 with spacers.
Hope I'm not missing anything
Gotcha. 68mm english threaded BBs are definitely very common.. Just did one on a road bike last week. It is getting more common for MTB BBs to be oversized too, so you might see more of the 73mm BBs. The 68mm or 73mm measurement is the width of the frame where the BB is mounted (axle width is different). You probably can't go wrong with a Hollowtech 2. There are 2 external bearing cups, and the crank (the crank and axle are 1 piece). How many gears do you have in the front? I wonder if you can figure out what crank to get based on that (the triple gear cranks usually need the longest axles usually).
