TruVativ Anyone ever use ?

TechJD said:

I have a 79 Schwinn Continental
I just bought a Sora Crank set for it
was thinking of useing a TruVativ insert
that will make the BB a standard 68mm
then I just have to find the right BB like a Shimano UN52/3 or UN72/3
not sure which yet?

and one ever use this type in insert ?
and if so was it any good ?
or someone have another idea how to mount the Sora in the older frame?

and please dont tell me to get a new frame cause I cant afford it 🙂
besides I like this one and 66cm frames are few and far apart beside more expence from what I have seen

I don't know nuttin' about bottom bracket inserts, but I use a Truvativ Stylo crankset, and I love it.

Is this some sorta wierd conversion from an isis crank/BB (star pattern) to a square taper BB??

no conversion from one peice crank to muilti-peice like the newer bikes have
it wil of course then give me the option of being able to use different chainrings
both currently have a 52/39 would like to try a 53/38 or maybe 53/37
