I can do most things on my bike having changed most parts over on my frame. The one thing I dont have a clue about though is bottom brackets. I have removed and serviced my current one, but what I dont know about is the different types.
I am planning a new bike build and at the risk or losing all credibility can someone very breifly explain….
are all bottom brackets suitable for all frames? (in UK), most are 68mm right? I think some are push fit, and some are threaded?
Ive read the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_bracket which explains a lot, and it seems the main compatibility issues are between bottom brackets and cranks, not between bottom brackets and frames?
So can some one explain the different bottom bracket frame interfaces?
