- One of my friends has a Phil bb with something like a 124mm axle. That would
- be wide enough for almost any bike. As for other bb's, I like the White
- Industries one. It is easy to install, has ajustable chain line, and is
- availible with cromo or tit axle. If you do get one, make sure that you put
- a plastic water seal in with a lot of grease. This make the bearings even
- more water resistant.
