if i do it. still undecided, i havent actually gotten the bike yet. it would be $30 for the bike itself, plus whatever it takes to make it ridable.
for the bb, do i only need to match the sizing? ive been doing some research on them, and it seems theres different types, tthreaded, push in, etc. will any type work as long as its the right size?
thanks again.
Individual bottom bracket tools are not that expensive, but if you end up buying different tools for the removal than you need for installation, costs go up quickly. You originally set a budget of $50 for your overhaul. If you spend $30 for tools, there is little left for needed parts
