Velo Orange threadless repair bottom bracket. 116mm | | This BB uses a new locking system that works even if the threads in the BB shell are damaged, or non-existent. That means it should fit Swiss and other oddly threaded bikes. As the adjustable cup is tightened the silver sleeve is pushed up the tapered outside face, expanding and locking in the BB. Installation requires a traditional-style BB spanner or a pin wrench.
The Velo Orange threadless bottom bracket has all the features of the Gran Cru bottom bracket- hollow chrome plated axle, alloy cups, cartridge bearings. There is an alloy outer dust shield to keep gross contaminants away form the bearings. Spindle length is marked on the taper for easy identification.
So far, we have tried these on British, French, and Swiss BB shells and they work perfectly. Customers report that they also work in Raleigh frames with a 71mm wide BB shell. They do not work on Italian threaded BB shells because those have are 73mm wide.
The tapers are JIS so it will fit just about any Asian sourced crank on the market made in the last 30 years.
Picture and weight are for 113mm spindle length. | | Article N°: 5002092 | 315 Gramm | Origin: TPE | |
