    I'm looking for a new b/b for the wife's shopper. It's a 68mm shell, 110mm axle but must be cotter pin fit. I've searched the web and found nothing. I've even got a nil return from Google. Does anyone know where I can get one.

    I can get the right size, but not cotter pin fit, and that means a new chainset. That's more than the bike is worth, so I'll scrap it if I can't get the right part.

    Anyone got any clues?

    I think these days the only way you'll find a bottom bracket for cottered pins is if you find one on a bike.

    How much is the bike worth? You can get a singlespeed chainset and bottom bracket for under £30.

    I'd ask someone like St John's Street Cycles, they know a lot about this sort of thing.

    What Njee20 said, I stand corrected, wrong axle length though.

    ask you local shop if they deal with Mackadams in cardiff, we fitted a cotter pin bb last week after getting one off them. I think they only deliver south wales and cardiff but worth a go.

    cotter pin axles are a bit weird as they differ in length and the distance between the bearing surfaces, dont forget to order the cups seperately
