Bottom bracket for Stronglight 49D...

Post by nicmarsh »

I have a double chainring Stronglight 49D crankset. Could anyone suggest a likely spindle length; I accept that I will have to start somewhere and maybe make a future change. I think this requires an ISO BB ?

I think it will be a 122mm, but await correction.

no, not an ISO BB I think. Old stronglights were different to that. The length I'm not sure of but 122mm sounds familiar.

cheers

Don't know exactly what length you need but I do have some
old ,some worn, some good con. spindles and cups.
I don't want to throw these out and plan to eventually forward them
to a Norwich ctc member.
Let me know what length you need and you pay post.
