Anyone know if there's a Shimano square taper CARTRIDGE bottom bracket that I can put a square taper Shimano Adamax AX crankset on? My buddy wants one. I have a Shimano Cartridge BB-UN51 but is seems as if the taper is different on it than on the crankset and thus the crankarms slide all the way to the shoulder of the spindle and the crankarms can be wiggled.
So, 1, are the tapers different and 2, is there a Shimano cartridge bottom bracket that'll work with the Adamas AX crankset?

Thanks and cheers

I don't believe that Phil Wood makes cartridge square taper bottom brackets anymore though perhaps you can get a special order.

Phil Wood & Co. disagrees with you:

You can get them direct from ModernBike.com: https://www.modernbike.com/product-2...iABEgJPifD_BwE

The price of the Phil BB would probably exceed the value of the bike in question.

We sell them, although not as many as we once did. Still an
in-stock item here.

I don't know why Phil & Co. (post-Phil) could not generate the same fan base as Chris King. Phil lovers are old farts and not super-hipsters with killer-bee freehubs.

CK was like Ford Motors of Portland for a while, although that cratered for a number of reasons, mostly because of CK. I think T47 is giving them some new revenue.

Going back to Tom's criticism of the younger set, I wonder why one of Phil's kids didn't take over the business. His youngest son, Barrie, was a friend of mine throughout my public school years in Los Gatos. I used to see him later in life at the shop, but apparently he wasn't interested in the business.
