bottom bracket / crankset help
Hi all,
I'm looking for a Shimano BB-UN72 73mm x 110mm bottom bracket. Nobody seems to sell one for my Trek 4500. I replaced it 4 years ago or so and it's toast again. I also replaced the crankset with a Deore. If I can't find the BB can I replace both with a Shimano LX FC-M580 crankset. Will this work with my existing FD and chain?
Thanks all.

You are in luck. Nashbar has the UN73 bb in 73x110 in stock and it's only $18. Look here:

Even cheaper, they have the UN25 in 73x110 for only $6! Again, look here:

Just a newer model if I recall. It will fit.
