Good reason to single speed it for a while
So I was stomping away from a traffic light the other night and my BB spindal snaps and the pedals drag. At first I thought I broke a spoke and the rear wheel's dragging. But both my cranks are pointing straight ahead. There's no limping this one home. Call the hook. Get home and tear it down. See photo. Damn. That's OK. I've got a spare. But it's only 108 mm wide. It won't work with my MTB hub 8 speed commuter rear wheel. But it will work with the Novatec SS MTB hub. Oh well, I guess it's time to single speed it to work and back until I find a screaming deal on a 113 ISIS BB. At least it wasn't the fancy carbon cranks I've been beating the crap out of for 3 years.
