Thank you, i will search right now for a YST. I was really hopping to toss the whole cottered bussiness and got for 2 or 3 cranks. I hace already read almost every crank, bb , and raleigh artcicle form sheldon b and have found them very useful. I can remove the bb no problem, but i dont know what i am looking for in a new bb except that it uses 26 tpi. Thanks freinds.
