So after not being happy with the bearings in euro BBs with 19mm spindles I came up with this. I know there were some other options, but this comes straight out of the parts book, all be it a couple of them.
The problem(smaller bearing to the right):
The parts:
Finished:
The parts needed for this are:
BB-1000 from FSA
19MM spindle(pick one...)
Tube spacer for 19mm spindle(I ordered a few, this one was from profile)
Youll also need to trim about 1mm or so from the bearing caps(plastic part on both bearings) Its slightly too long and prevents the tube spacer from sitting squarely against the inboard sides of the inner bearing races.
