Where to buy bottom bracket shell?
Hello All:
We are building two arm crank ergometers in my lab and we need a couple of steel bottom bracket shells. Just the shell (as in the part that a frame builder would use). Any idea where I can buy a couple on line? Thanks, Jim |

Could you stop by the local thrift store, buy a couple of steel-framed bikes, get out the hacksaw, and .... ?? -- Live simply so that others may simply live |

Unless you're waiting on them and can't do anything else, of course, that's not the metric to use. Still, though, have you tried your local framebuilder? Also, you'll want to take the finished product back to a bike shop to have the faces cut and threads reamed. If you get thrift store bikes, you might skip that step. Jasper |

Here's a good survey of framebuilding supply houses : http://www.phred.org/~josh/build/suppliers.html In particular, Nova Cycle Supply is probably going to be your fastest source for bottom bracket shells: http://www.novacycles.com/ . - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |
