My FSA bottom bracket on my arkose has died after a very wet trip to the Brecons a few weeks ago ,been looking at other BBs to replace it ,the omega chainset has a 19mm spindle rather than the normal 24mm of Shimano etc ,are there any other makes that do a 19mm version?

those BB's are awful and expensive. i replaced one on my wifes whyte, and then when the next one died shortly after I bought a tiagra chainset with BB for only slightly more than the cost of a replacement FSA BB.

19mm is Profile crank size, they do an external BB but it won't be cheap. Foundย  it

Note - I'd double check the axle diameter before ordering because there may be a difference in the axle sizes even though they both say 19mm.
