Did the same on my klunker a while ago. Still, I really like the one-piece bottom brackets in their simplicity. And no special tools required! Thanks for sharing!

Bart Rides Eternal I do notice a difference between the 2 that I can’t quite explain other than maybe a smoother pedal stroke but idk if it’s worth the effort and cost. Guess it depends on the bike and how I use it.

@maxmarrero9635 Well that's too bad. Fortunately I haven't experienced that.

I got rid of a 'mountain' bike i really liked because i asked the bike shop to convert the cranks bracket to a better system then loose bearings...the lying bike guy hold me it could not be done...man i really hate the guy/shop now....

Sorry to hear it. IDK why some shops are that way. Seems you hear this kind of story frequently. Not enough profit to be made or they're only interested in new high end bikes? Fortunately I had a local bike shop that would bend over backwards to help with any project but sadly they went out of business. Thanks for watching.

I had to do something similar but I needed an eccentric adapter that would allow me to install a mid-drive motor for an e-bike. What was the inside diameter of your bottom bracket before the conversion.
@Locojoe4 жыл бұрын
What eccentric adapter did you get? Sorry I don't recall the diameter. Just a cruiser type frame with a 1 piece crank. I think they are most all the same.
