I recently bought an FSA Omega crankset without really doing my research properly. It uses a 19mm spindle, not the 24mm spindle that Shimano/Raceface use. It needs a new BB really, but as the BB seems to be stupidly expensive, I wondered if I could use my Raceface BB with a shim tube of some kind to step down the ID to the 19mm required. Anyone done anything like this?
Not sure,
But you could use a 19mm Euro BMX bb, would be cheaper, make sure you have spacers like profiles to make up the difference on the external cups.
SS - got a link?
Ta 🙂
these two should do the job, but if you look around you may find cheaper. euro bb is the same as mtb.
