Pierre, what are you using? I'm guessing you're having issues if you want to replace your current setup?
You could see on my C26 tread that I could reduce the spindle diameter from 22.2 to 22 with the help of Mojo Ti.
But the work needs to be very precise.
So, I could use my crankset with BMX 22mm inner diameter bearings with classic MTB cups.
But I had won another bullseye crank on ebay and I would want to keep it in the original diameter. But I would want to ride it and I'm looking on external bearings with ProblemSolver's shims… But If I would find the new bullseye bearings, I really prefer them…

you should take a look here

I did it with dura ace 7900 and shims
it works quite well but not enough for me (maybe for garage queens)

There seem to be several solutions here;
1. Reduce the OD to 20mm and use the same type of BB as Pierre (can't tell what it is from the pics).
2. Stick with the 22.2mm axle and increase the OD using shims.
From the sounds of it none of you are that happy. Any idea why Bullseye made the new BB's and then stopped production shortly after? There must be someone who knows more...

I reduce to 22mm ! not 20 :!:
But if you really want to ride them, the desperadocycles solution is really the best if you don't care of the esthetic
PS : sorry, I don't know the difference between the generations. I only kow that the length of the axe is important : Shorter for BMX, longer for MTB
