Crank looks like it uses outboard bearings. Order the bearings with the crank.

If I'm reading the descriptions correctly the crankset comes with a spindle which means 1 or 2 things....

1. The crankset also comes with the rest of the BB.
2. You need to buy the rest of the BB.

My advice is to contact the seller for specifics.

Ther was never anything wrong with the square taper axle. I still use them.
