ID this bottom Bracket

Paul Kopit said:

Is labeled "SKF" 3x on each end cup and a cartridge bearing unit. The
removal tool that worked fine is the star kind for the Campy Mirage,
Veleoce, Centaur bottom brackets. The spindle length is 114 mm.

I'd like to know it's history and if the taper is ISO or JIS.

It's an [censored], sold under several names and available in both
taper sections. I was told they make the ACH but I don't
know that. They have a model with grey nylon, not metal,
cups in the ACH pattern.

If you look at the shape of the taper and the start
dimension next to a Shimano or a Campagnolo BB the spindle
type should be clear.

Our supplier for these failed, so I don't know where you'd
get another or any info. They're found on Pashley and
Batavus bikes.

[censored] is a bearing company, I doubt they are so desperate to buy from SKF.
My guess is the bearing is made by ..... SKF. These axles were
supplied with Sachs New Succes cranksets in 114.5mm, iso

I guess that means I don't know who actually makes them. I
used to buy them from Tom at Island Cycle who called them
[censored] bottom brackets. Island went out of business 2 years ago.

Since both [censored] and SKF are major bearing manufacturers, my guess is
that they may have used both [censored] and SKF bearings at different times.
It's possible that the early ones came with [censored] and that Tom took
that as the name. A change in bearing makers later on was too
late--the "damage" was done, and the name stuck.

But it certainly does make you wonder who actually made the BB
assembly.
