Who makes a set of cranks compatible w/ Spanish BBs? Is there a company that makes an adapter so I could run, say, Profiles?

Thanks!

Fly Bikes is the main one that I know of. . .they make a Spanish BB bearing kit that should work with most 3-pc style cranks.

their site is here

Awesome, thanks a ton.

fly, macneil, integral all make spanish BB kits.

Primo also makes a step-down Spanish kit that I run on my 20".

So could I run the Fly kit with Profile cranks?

Another question: What's a good 24" wheeled street gear ratio? I'm running 2:1 on my 26 and I feel it's too easy. Would 28:11 be good?

I ran 28-12 on my 24" and liked it, and yes profiles will work with the spanish bb and 19mm (or 22mm depending on which one you get) 3 piece crank will work with the spanish bb's. I'm running FSA x-drives with a fly bikes Euro to spanish conversion on my sovereign. As seen on www.nemesisproject.com (thanks brad )

So are Profile DJ cranks 19mm?

So are Profile DJ cranks 19mm?

Yeah, 3/4" spindle is what they call it, but same thing lol.

 

[Bicyclist]

Cool, thanks. How do you know how long your spindle should be, also?

 

[Mr Tiles]

5-3/4" spindle should work great...

 

[Bicyclist]

Thanks!

these will work too once they come out.

 

[Bicyclist]

Are those Fly cranks?

 

[swerve76]

Fly 2.5 cranks.

 

[Bicyclist]

Cool, I'll look into those more. Thanks!

The fly's are not out yet, all you need is a $19 kit from www.albes.com or wherever you prefer to buy bmx stuff from..even your local shop...

Im pretty sure Primo is now making the Hollowbites available with a spanish bb and possibly the Powerbites too.

 

[Bicyclist]

Unfortunately I need 170mm cranks so the Primos won't do. Too bad, as their spindle design is my favorite.
