Hi,

I'm trying to build up a Cotic BFe. I have looked into BBs and have become rather confused over what will and wont fit. The frame has standard English threads.

Is this BB comatible with the frame?

and then is it going to fit with this chainset?

Any help with the matter would be much appreciated!

Thanks

That chainset won't fit, it's for BB30 - so it has a 30mm axle. You need [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=35732 ]this one[/url] for a standard frame, which includes a BB.

Heavy though - I'd have SLX for less money.

check out merlincycles too. they have XT 9 or 10 speed cranks for £138 that look like they come with a bottom bracket suitable for your bike.
