I'm trying to keep my Middleburn cranks in use, seems a shame to resign them to being ornaments.

Can anyone recommend a source of half-decent square taper bottom brackets?

Also trying to use a bb-mount chain guide at the mo so hoping to find e-type bb's to...

Royce or Phil woods? Expensive but are supposed to last very well.

To fit a BB mounted chainguide I dont htink you'll be able to use cups without flanges (Hope, Phil Woods, Royce)

In which case you're looking at UN54 Shimano or s/h or NOS UN72 if you can find one on eBay

EDIT: just thinking about that, Im not 100% sure Shimano cups have flanges either.

ISIS ones usually do though.

EDIT 2: checked again, yep they do

Middleburn are now the distributors of SKF BB's... so either contact middleburn direct or via ya LBS...

Makes sense, nice square taper cranks and BB's!!
