Hi,
I am attempting to convert an old crappy BigW Huffy into a singlespeed commuter. the cranks were a one piece with bb and I was wondering how to determine the correct bottom bracket for this?
the local bike store said possibly a bmx bb but did not sound keen on doing it as they were talking about removing cups or something. how do I determine the correct size bb (and if in fact I need a bmx one) and then the appropriate cranks?
Simple stuff from a simple bloke.
Cheers.
I forgot to add that there appears to be no threading inside the bottom bracket housing on the frame.
