Bike Repair - American to Euro Bottom Bracket - BikemanforU

[@Rokintuubi]

Thanks for a informative vid, Bikeman and greetings from a very snowy southern Finland! It is always nice to listen to the workshop chat. Helps keep taps on what is realy going on there on the other side of the Atlantic. All the best for 2013!

[@turnersparadise8368]

Wanted to add; keep up the great work my friend, you have many silent fans out there. I was one who has watched you from the beginning but as I had no youtube account I never posted anything.

[@TheDJDontStop]

Great video thanks! I am about to do this on an old Schwinn with an American style bottom bracket. My conversion kit is a little different. It has four bolts instead of three and the two pieces are labeled "Left" and "Right" so there is no mistaking. Thanks again for the vid, I think the project will be pretty easy after watching you do this.

[@wiredworldwide]

I always enjoy watching your videos...I always learn something.

[@calebwiencek2741]

Ok bikeman, i now know how to upgrade from american loose ball bearings to a sealed bb. My question for you is"after upgrading the bb will i also have to upgrade my spindle as well?How will my sprocket stay in place then? Please tell me everything i need to know on how to upgrade from loose ball to sealed and all parts i will need> Thank you for all your vids, they really do help.

[@thxcuz]

Yep, I wacked the living daylights out of it. There seems to be a .5 cm gap between the bike and adapter. III ain't going anywhere but it's not flush. Thanks for all your vids

[@not2fast4u2c]

Bikeman looks so Manly when he gets out a big hammer and a 2x4 Great Vid I have been waiting for a video on this conversion

[@catlady8324]

A RED, a WHITE and a BLUE crank... It was then in the Spring of '14, at 1:10 when the BikeMan said a great and profound thing. More profound words could not have been forged, not even if King Soloman himself were in the Bike & Kite shop. You may ask "what words"? "Those colors don't run"! Red, White and Blue BABY!!! A+++++

Sonofa was filming a YouNOW with the i phone at the same time the PUMP was filming with i think the flip

[@Dilengerman1]

My brain just exploded I've never imagined there being a BB adaptor like that..very nice.

[@marcosgarciagarcia7528]

Is there a part 2? I've been looking for something like this for ages. You rock!

[@LAactor]

Is there a part deux? Is bit maybe put in the description there isn't. If there is link to it in the description. But the way the video ends like that we just don't know. And if there is then the titles need to be matching with the difference being part 1 or 2. Otherwise people will keep wondering if they missed something st the other end..

[@turnersparadise8368]

Hey Bikeman, thanks to you for inspiring me, I am starting to assemble a fixie out of a 65cm Fuji Royale frame I had laying around. I sure hate demolishing old road bikes, even low grade ones, but as it was just the frame anyway...I digress...I think I recall a previous video where you show the Origin8 crankset you sell in JUST silver. I do not see this one in your store, just the silver with the gray in the chainring. Can I get this crankset in just the silver?

[@LeadLines]

I love your videos man. Just converted my Fuji 12 speed to a fixed gear and it's pretty sexy.

[@michaelmiles3896]

Hello BIKEMANFORU. i just installed this same conversion kit on a beach cruiser yesterday, when i screwed the three bolts into two halves together, i used red thread lock to keep the bolts from coming loose. Now, should i use red thread lock when i install the crank bolts?. thanks for the videos. have a fun filled day...

[@LeadLines]

Will do Bike Man!

[@RobertoACalderon]

still waiting for part 2, this is what i have in mind with an old 12 speed road bike with an American 1-piece bottom bracket

[@BikemanforU]

The kit you are taklin about is an American to Mid bottom bracket we do not stock it YET.. So to answer the question......... Yes the whole thing needs to be changed. Check out some of our playlists on BMx. Thanks for the comment.. You are todays WINNER. PM me your address and T-shirt size

[@c.m.4887]

BMFU, could you use a headset press to get the adapter into the BB shell?

[@MMCFilm]

Im about to do same conversion should adding some anti-seize be needed between the cups and frames BB shell

[@hangawara]

Try doin that on a Huffy Good Vibrations with a quarter inch of every frame member sticking through the bracket !

[@beechbum888]

Bike Man- will this conversion kit work with any kind of outboard bearing bottom bracket that we're starting to see in newer cranksets? It seems to me that outboard bearing bb's would not fit inside flange of the converter. I've got my dad's 73 schwinn continental that I'm trying to rebuild with newer components and I'd like to know my options before I go out and buy something that won't fit. If these types do not fit and I have to used a sealed bb, what spindle length would you recommend?

[@AshleyAcademy]

Bikeman! You rule!!

[@ZJandDJ]

Hey Bikeman, when do you log into younow and do live videos? I want to watch but I don't know what your schedule is on that, can you help me out?

[@goriverman]

Nikeman i know where your coming from with the glasses, its a pain in the ass when are you on live i keep missing it

[@kirklandgates1127]

Hi my name is Kirkland. I'm wondering if you could help me. I have a fixie frame that uses a English bottom bracket. I would like to know if I could use a euro bottom bracket? Any info would be helpful thanks.

[@stevenmcdougall9157]

Is there a converter for 120mm BB thats on Schwinn Stingray and Clones , i am guessing it would just need longer screws anyway

[@JOHN27398]

yes i did watch this all and i did like very much it has been very cold out in Vermont have not been riding but soon ./john smiles and winks.

[@StClairSam]

Hey im in the process of converting my 71 schwinn varsity to a 3 piece crank. Does it matter what size cartridge I get for the american to euro kit?

[@2divinee431]

Is a rule that bearing cups are tap on? Or is the European solution using threads?
