C-Dale BB?

[reign3k]

Hello
Wondering about the size of my bottom bracket or how to figure it out as I would like to get a race face crankset where they have the crank arm integrated with the bottom bracket. My ride is a 96' Super V900 active
Thanks

Well,

All MTB bottom bracket shells are the same diameter, so you only need to worry about length. The most common sizes are either 68mm or 73mm. Take a metric ruler and measure the shell width.

If you're having a shop installing the new BB/cranks, just take the frame/bike to them and thy can measure it for you. They can do that even if they don't put the new ones on, and I'm 99% sure it'll be free.

Also, you could try finding the shell width on the Cannondale website (www.cannondale.com) , they may have it there, but their online archives don't go back too far. If you cna't get it from the site, or by measuring it, Email Cannondale (custserv@cannondale.com) , tell them what type/year your frame is, and they'll be able to get it for you.


If you still can't find the size, your BB size isn't the only thing you should be worried about ;)

I know that should help you--Graham
