Tange Bb Set Tange 1Pc Bb-220Sb-Sealed 24Tpi

Why we love it?

The first one I tried was the Black Ops which is very nice. However, I ran into two problems with it. The first problem: Even though the collar threaded onto the crank arm easily, it did not go on far enough to lock down the sprocket without the use of a spacer. The second problem: I could not get the collar on the opposite, or left foot side, to thread on because the bend in the crank was too close to the threads to provide enough clearance to get the collar situated straight enough to get it threaded on without possibly cross threading it. Your mileage may vary - I read another reviewer who used the Black Ops crank arm with this bottom bracket - I was afraid of junking both items so I decided to try a different crank arm. The old American-made Schwinns can be a real challenge to find parts for these days so I was pleased to discover that the cups in this kit fit my frame just fine but the rest of the kit did not fit my original crank arm. The collar, which locks down the sprocket, threaded onto the crank arm easily for the first few turns but then would not go any further. I soon found out from another reviewer that this kit does not fit the original Schwinn cranks - I can now conform this - so I decided to buy an aftermarket crank arm.

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/dubdad on /r/BurningMan You mean for a one piece crank? We just installed 4 sets of these pre-burn, 2 on bikes that had had their bb eaten by the playa and 2 prophylactically.

They’re buttery smooth and completely sealed, and fit on our 1 piece huffy/schwinn cranks.
