Also, that's a very common situation with ISO taper spindles, which have a much longer taper section than JIS spindles. Even if an adjustable cup with an external lockring is used, there will be a noticeable gap between the crank arm and the cup / lockring. The installation on my Protype / Sugino 75 looks just like the photo. You should always tighten the crank arm bolts based on torque, and the value I always use is 400 in-lbs (33 ft-lbs) for square taper spindles.

Is there another reason besides price that most go for the protype bb for 75's; like sealed vs loose ball etc? About to buy a set of Sugino's with the matching BB, and if I can get it for cheaper without causing problems that would be great. I was also looking at these for the crank set, Campagnolo – Centaur BB.

I chose the Protype because it's got sealed cartridge bearings and would rather not be bothered with needing to service my bottom bracket.

homebrew, you're 16/17?
|
More like 14/15.
|
Stay home and Netflix the original Swedish trilogy. It was better anyway.
|
hahahahaha I wish I could get my little brother into riding enough to want a Caad 10
|
I wish I could afford a CAAD10 at that age.
|
**** that age is meant for bmx bikes and broken arms!
|
My little brother is 15, 6' tall, 120 lbs. I try to get him more enthusiastic, maybe interested in racing. His first ride was over 20 miles at around 17/18 mph. He could be a killer climber
Scrod, how do I get a 15 year old really interested in more than just slow party rides? I don't want to force him and give him a bad taste because I pushed him a little too hard. |

Scrod, have you ever been a bmxer who fought a skateboarder or vice versa? |

Thanks. I can't say I disagree; however, the stock market helped me pay for around $1100 dollars of the bike.
