Nothing really wrong with a plastic NDS cup but yeah, I'm not really fond of it either.

Why are you not fond of them? So all i have to do is get a matching bottom bracket with the length of the spindle that the crankset requires.whether it be the omniums Or the all citys.

English Bottom brackets are 68mm right?
And what is the difference in Iso and JIS?

The Sram s300 courier only come in 48t from what i see. That would give me a gear ratio of 48/16. a horrible ratio for skid patches. Sucks, i was really looking forward to getting them. I dont want to change my cog at the moment.

Yes i am aware.... But i'm afraid i don't have the tools to install The crankset, Bottom Bracket, and Cog. And, i also do not know what tools are needed for installing the crankset and bottom bracket.Hahaha. Well if i were to get the Sram i would need to buy a a new cog. So i guess i will buy the all city 612 crankset. still on edge, but i will think it out by the time i have all the money needed.
