    Bottom brackets?

    That I knew. I've never switched between different 68mm BBs so I wasn't sure if all the different types were the same diameter. I didn't want to buy cranks and BB just to find out it didn't fit the bike.

    Bottom brackets?

    So any 68mm bb should fit the bike? It dosent matter if it's isis, square taper, even outboard bearing whatever as long as its 68?

    Bottom brackets?

    Obama is still alive though. Trump will need to watch out for him restarting it. Unfortunately neither Trump or Obama are going to help me find a BB.

    Bottom brackets?

    So I have no cranks or bottom bracket right now just a bare frame. I also don't have a caliper but with my tape measure I get about 68mm wide and 33-34mm inner diameter threaded. When I go to a place like chainreaction or jenson and check 68mm. I get square taper, powerspline, ISIS, octalink...

    Bottom brackets?

    Just noticed if I click it works. That still doesn't clear up if I can use any of the 68mm BBs along with square taper, etc

    I can't see whatever you just posted

    Bottom brackets?

    So I can use square taper, ISIS, octalink, or the pass through I guess they are called bsa30 or bb30 as long as I get the correct matching cranks/spindle?

    Bottom brackets?

    I'm trying to build up an old frame I have and I need a bottom bracket. I'm pretty sure it's 68mm. There are a few different types of 68mm bb various splines and the pass through spindle type. Can I use any as long as I have the right crankset?

    Steel Chain Rings

    What he's trying to say is you need a softer chain. Maybe something like a belt?

    New old bike.

    I need a S or a M I'm realizing this it didn't really exist back then. I've come to the same conclusion of uzzi, bottlerocket, sx trail, reign, and spitfire. Though i keep reading about broken spitfires. Spending $1000 and then breaking the frame would be a huge bummer. Would a trek remedy be...

    You think smooth bike park jump trails would break a short-mid travel bike? I feel like DH and bike park are two different things. Does a bike somewhere between a 100mm 4x/jump bike and a 165mm trail enduro all mountain bike whatever it's called not exist? On transitions site under the scout...

    New old bike.

    I'll ask a different question. What are some older bikes with less than 6in travel that have frames that will hold up? A TR250 might work but definitely not with a boxxer or fox 40 up front. If I had the money to buy a new bike I would probably look to get something like a shred dogg or...

    If bikes have improved wouldn't you need even less travel. Long travel bikes with dual crown forks for smooth bike park trails makes no sense to me.

    I prefer to have my own stuff. I have no interest in renting. I'd like to go as much as I can mountain creek is a drive so I can't go all the time. Windham is just over 30min though. It also looks like they only rent demo 8s.

    That's the complete opposite of what I'm looking for or anything I said. I already have a 7in travel dual crown bike.

    Windham and Plattekill are the 2 closest to me. Last time I was at Plattekill was probably at least 12 years ago. I didn't care for it much compared to Diablo/Mountain Creek. I really don't know what any of them are like today though. I'm not one to bomb down rough sections so I think a DH bike...

    New old bike.

    With $1000 budget I can't get a lot newer. I guess I'm looking for an older shorter travel bike that can handle bike park use but is a little more nimble or poppy than my heavy mush pile bullit. It seems like everyones bullit is I found a few transition bottlerockets as new as 2012 for under...

    New old bike.

    I realize that. It's 1 1/8 straight. I would look for a used fork. I want to keep this cheap. I'm just not sure if it will change the feel of the bullit enough to be worth it or if I'm better off buying a sub $1000 used bike. I'm aware of the pinkbike buy sell section.

    New old bike.

    I'm planning on riding this year after a long break. Majority will be at bike parks around the northeast. I'm trying to figure out what to do for a bike before the season starts. I will be mostly hitting the jump trails so I don't need a full DH bike. I prefer to jump and pop off things rather...
