Saracen Bottom Bracket

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I have a Saracen Dirt-Trax (98 model) and there is now definite movement in the BB. It looks like a Saracen branded crank so I was wondering a: what tools do I need to remove the crank and the BB unit, b: how do I do it and c: is the chainset on a UK bike the same side as the US (right-hand in the UK).

Thanks in advance,
