Hi All

Slowly re-building my 1990 clockwork orange but am unsure which bottom bracket i should use with a tripple xt chainset....68mmx 109 or113mm?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Much appreciated

Well it's 68 shell and you'll want the smallest length of the correct length bottom bracket for your chainset. That depends on which XT one you have.

If it's period correct XT (M730) then you'll want the 122.5 length
If it the later XT M737 (compact rings from 1994+) then you'll want 107 length
If it's later then you'll need to say which model
 
Hi
Thanks for that,its a xt 737 chainset so not quite the correct period but not a million miles away - lots to learn still!.107mm it is then.

many thanks once again
