I need to get a new 68x113mm square taper bottom bracket to go with my middleburn cranks.

Can anyone recommend one for under £25?

Cheers
Paul

UN52 or a UN72 if you can find one on ebay.

I had a look for one, but nothing is around. I have a UN53 at the moment and it didn't last long

I just bought some UN54's from Wiggle. I stocked up on the size my bikes use so I have a few years to go before facing this problem again.

Ive had a UN54 in mine for nearly a year and its just like new. I cant beleive how well its held up.

£12.75 from [url= http://www.parker-international.co.uk/6070/Shimano-UN54-Bottom-Bracket.html ]Parkers[/url]

Highly recommended here.

I have a used UN73 one that feels pretty smooth you can have. A few spots of surface rust and the plastic insert has a lengthways crack - but still seems to tighten up nicely.
Biggest problem would be the cost of the postage compared to its value
