My square tapered bottom bracket (stbb) is 68/122.5. I have an old 1999 Specialized Hardrock that uses a VERY primitive looking stbb (like ball bearings, and couple of rings) that looks nothing like on the picture. Would it still work? Thank you for...

if you have the old style or AMERICAN style, that is NOT threaded inside the frame, punch out the races and use the TRUVATIV BB conversion! YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY YOU DID! There are a TON of videos on how to do this, check out bikeman (I think that is his youtube handle) and you wont be let down! JUST MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE DRIVE SIDE PROPERLY AND LINE UP THE CONVERSION BEFORE YOU SEAT IT INTO THE FRAME! The screws to the conversion will pull it TIGHT but make sure it is in far enough to not strip the screws or adapter! THIS BB is one of the best values in the industry! I dont recommend any UNDER this model, even though they are VERY RELIABLE. THIS is a small price to pay and while you are there, I recommend an upgrade to your crank set to bring you an upgrade that will breath life into that nice HARDROCK! IF YOUR FRAME IS ALREADY THREADED, no worries, this should work!

This crank set is for a square taper bottom bracket. I bought an Avenir Octalink Crank Puller from Amazon.

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

It will work on any length spindle ---- spindle length (axle length of bottom bracket) determines the chainline. However you must have a square taper bb for this crankset to fit. If your bb is Shimano , Truevative, Suntour, etc, you should have no problem. If you have an off brand bb there could be a pitch (slant of the taper) issue though.

A 113mm bottom bracket will potentially give you chain alignment issues. The suggested 110mm BB's are readily available and its suggested by the manufacturer to use that length.Thanks

I think so. That bike looks like it has 25.4mm handlebars (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/hardrock/hardrock-disc-se-26#specs), which is fairly standard for newer bikes.

That's a pretty specific question. All I can say is that the crank sits fairly far out on the bottom bracket and I've ended up using short BBs like 118s or 123s.

G'day Dan. I have no idea what type of bike that is, but if I was you I would just go to the SRAM/RockShox website for advice on the bikes and types of riding that this fork would suit. Regards, Paul. PS: I haven't even got the darn forks fitted to my own bike yet, so don't have a clue about performance - apart from what I've read.

I just realized which trucks you were buying. Any standard 70 mm wheel and bearing kit is great. Get a riser and bolt length depending on how you are mounting them and how thick the riser is. I would recommend a full kit that includes everythung. Bearings are standard sizes. Sorry I didn't read through before answering.

It is for a square taper bottom bracket. Do note that the crank arms are a little shorter than standard adult 170mm to 175mm arms.

I running a 180 mm front and rear on my trail bike and my riding buddy's are running 203mm. Just need to get the right "shimano" adaptor for the rotor you are planing to run.

For most instances the medium option will work. Shimano actually calls them long cage and super long cage. The long cage model is usually used on 29ers with triple fronts and 36 tooth rear large sprockets but a medium will work on a 42 tooth 1x conversion.

I'd be very surprised if your base bar is 22mm. Most bikes are 25.4 and larger. The bars would only work on your bar if you could find a shim at your local bike shop that's thick enough.

I really think it depends on your chainstay clearance, chainring and crank arms. What I did to figure that out was to use websites like this one: http://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html to figure out what length bottom bracket best worked for my bike. If you are running a triple, you should be at 45 (I'm assuming you are because you specifically asked about a chainline of 45), but a double should be 43.5mm...and on and on depending on your bike and gearing. You can also adjust the spacers on the back axle as well, but this shouldn't be necessary if you know that your rear (sprocket end) is at 45mm, which is what you are trying to achieve (explained here: http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=page&page_id=chainline). Sorry, not an easy yes or no answer. Just check those sites out and do the measurements and you should be ok. Hope I helped...good luck!

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

I actually just did a 1x10 conversion with 32 tooth up front and a 42 tooth in back. Still works flawlessly. Definitely start with a new chain though,narrow wide chain ring up front and One Up extended cog in back with the special mad 16 tooth cog that replaces your 15 and 17 tooth cog.

It should but find some pictures of Hollowtech 2 bearings and see if they look like what you have already on your bike. I don't know if it can be retrofitted if you are using some other Bottom Bracket bearing setup. This crankset is an identical replacement for the crankset that came on my GT UltraTranseo. It came as a commuter bike but I think this crankset is commonly used on MTBs . Thats all I give you for advice right now. Dean
