I have a set of Sugino Messenger cranks coming to me soon, will I need to change anything BB-wise? I figure it should be okay but right now I am running a set of Shimano 600 road cranks and there is a bit of noise. I hope the Messengers solve that....
You might need to pick up a 103mm bottom bracket if you are planning to run a chainring on the outer slot. As for the noise, i'm running the same BB with a set of old Sugino GLP's and its pretty quiet. Although my chain is set up with 1" of slack, so that might have something to do with it.
