Replacing external bearing bb. w/ Internal

[James R. Lewis]

I have a 2006 Giant OCR Limited with a Truvativ Rouller triple crank with
the external bearings. I'd like to transfer parts from another bike and
convert the Giant to a compact double with an 'older' style internal b.b.
Will the internal b.b. setup fit on the Giant frame?
Thanks! Jim

Yes. Unless your older BB has Italian threads, which is unlikely.

very happy so far.

Sure, that hasn't changed...remember the right side 'cup' is left
