Cube Bottom bracket

[TimeTraveller]

HI Ive purchased a new frame for a build. 2018 Cube Attention.
I'm Having an issue finding the correct bottom bracket size.
Any help would be welcome

This shows that it has normal Shimano external BB (2mins 22s in)

The video gxaustin linked to shows an SM-BB52 which means the bottom bracket shell is, almost certainly, a normal 68mm threaded one. Whether you fit an EBB, square taper or something else is entirely your choice.

Is the BB shell threaded ?
If it isn't threaded then it is a "press fit" type.

You can measure across the faces of the shell and there are generally two sizes.
68mm - which is now the standard road size.
73mm - meant for MTB chainsets.

Both have different chainlines and can effect which chainset & front derailleur can be used.

mine is 73 mm
threaded

mine is 73 mm

any shimano MTB chainset with HTII type BB can work on a 73mm wide BSC threaded BB shell.

cheers

I presume that square taper chainsets and cartridge BB's are still available if preferred ?

Surely Cube technical info on their website or emailing them will get you the correct spec you need?
