Iso French Threading Wheel
This very nicely made bushing set allows you to mount a modern threaded cartridge bottom bracket unit in a frame made for the old-style 'Ashtabula'This saves weight, improves shifting, and allows the use of modern clipless pedals.Be the first kid on your block to put a Dura-Ace crankset into your Schwinn Varsity!Installation Note:Press in right side (left threaded) bushing first.Then draw in left side bushing by gradually tighteningthe allen head bolts. The bolts go through the left side and screw into the right side adaptor. Bottom bracket unit in a frame made for the old-style 'Ashtabula'The 24 TPI threading fits most one-piece cranks.(If your bike is a Schwinn or Mongoose, and you are using the original crank, you probably need the 28 tpi version.)If you are replacing the original crank even on a Schwinn or Mongoose, this 24 tpi set is the way to go. The old 28 tpi threading is an endangered species, but the frame will accept either type with no problem.NOTE: Some department store kids bikes are using a smaller diameter one piece bottom bracket that is not the same as this.
What spindle length?I often get questions such as, 'What is the proper BB spindle length for a 1954 Urago mixte?' Come on; I'm not Sheldon Brown! In any case, the length of your BB spindle is determined largely by the model of crank you use, not by the type of bike. Every crank's manufacturer recommends a BB type and length. Of course, if the crank is long out of production, a lengthy conversation with Google may be required to find the specification.As with anything, it's not quite that simple. There are a couple of other factors that can influence spindle length.
If your bike has particularly wide chain stays, such as those on a mountain bike or a loaded tourer, a longer spindle may be require in order to ensure that the crank arms clear the chain stays. Often, the only way to be sure is to install the crank and see if the BB works. If not, measure the interference or gap and buy a second BB. Unfortunately BBs that have been installed are not returnable, but there is always E-bay. The other factor that might influence spindle length is BB spindle taper.Symmetrical VS non-symmetrical spindlesSome BB are non-symmetrical: the spindle is longer on the drive side.
Today it can be hard to find the proper non-symmetrical spindle BB for old cranks. One solution is to use to push the BB over a few mm, effectively making a non-symmetrical BB. Or you can just get a slightly wider symmetrical BB and not worry about it.Spindle taperThe vast majority of square taper cranks uses either an ISO or a JIS taper. Basically, the angle of these two types is almost identical. It's just that a different portion of the taper is used, as I've tried to show in my sketch. For the most part, only Italian frames use ISO today. The rest of the world uses JIS.
But there are exceptions, such as the top-of-the-line Sugino track cranks; all other Sugino cranks are JIS. Some older cranks from Stronglight, TA, and other European companies also used ISO tapers. Only Ofmega and Avocet, of the major manufacturers, used a proprietary taper.It's usually possible to fit an ISO crank on a JIS BB. The only caveat is that the crank will be 3-4mm wider than if an ISO BB was used, so pick a slightly narrower spindle and tighten the crank bolts securely.I don't recommend using a JIS crank on an ISO spindle because the crank may bottom out, thus permanently ruining the taper.
If, however, you are careful, it will work with some combinations.One of the problems with this whole idea is that manufacturers sometimes take a casual attitude toward following one standard or the other. I have seen TA cranks, for example, that appear to be ISO and an identical crank that's JIS, or perhaps something in between.BB threadingLet us begin with the French standard because this is, after all, Velo Orange.

The French decided that BB shells should be 68mm wide, threading should be35mm x 1mm, and both cups should tighten to the right. Simple and effective!
Of course, VO makes.The Swiss, improved the French standard by reversing the thread on the drive side. This became the Swiss standard and was adopted not only by Swiss manufacturers but also by a few French companies, notably Motobecane.
(Motobecane also used French threading on occasion and later switched to British threading; good luck.) The BB shell is 68mm wide and also threaded 35mm X 1mm; but the left cup tightens to the right and the right to the left.The reason for this improved standard was that the spinning of the crank was thought to loosen the right-hand thread non-drive BB cups. After a few decades, the Swiss noticed that French cyclists, in fact, were not stopping every few miles to tighten their cups. And so the standard was quietly abandoned. The only Swiss threaded BBs made today are the super expensive Phil Wood units. But that is a less expensive alternative.The French standard was also eventually abandoned and, to the everlasting annoyance of the French and of francophiles everywhere, the British/English (or ISO) standard became the world standard. If your classic frame was made in America, Japan, Taiwan, Germany, or Britain, it almost certainly accepts a English threaded BB. This standard is 1.375' X 24 tpi with the left cup tightening to the right and the right to the left; the BB shell is 68mm wide. All VO frames use an.Not leaving well enough alone, some British manufacturers, particularly Raleigh, came up with other standards that are outside of my understanding, as did some old American manufacturers.Finally the Italians, who we reluctantly acknowledge do know something about bicycles, if only the racing sort, blithely ignored everyone else and stuck to their own standard.
The Italian BB shell is 70mm wide and has 36 mm X 24 tpi threading; both cups tighten to the right. VO makes in sizes to fit our cranks.Speaking of Italian BBs, I should note again that at least one company, Ofmega, used there own propitiatory axle taper. They also made Avocet cranks which use the same bizarre standard. A regular taper won't work. I know this since I destroyed an Ofmega crank on my old race bike by trying it. Find a BB on E-bay if you have one of these. If the threads on your frame's BB shell are cross threaded, stripped, or otherwise damaged you can use the VO that I mentioned earlier.

Taper is JIS. We have used these on British, French, and Swiss BB shells and they work perfectly. Customers report that they also work in Raleigh frames with a 71mm wide BB shell. These BB's won't work on mountain bikes, as their standard width (73mm) is too wide for the shell to expand. They also do not work on Italian threaded BB shells because those have a wider ID.
