so, that BB... heres the story
i have a set of Race Face Prodigy cranks that i had earmarked for this bike,
i needed to get a bottom bracket to suit them as the one i have is a 68mm,
but this frame is a 73mm shell, so todays search of all LBSs came up with zero
there isnt a 73mm shell bottom bracket on the fylde coast for sale
so..
i took the Race Face Ride XC and Hope external BB off my Saracen Tufftrax,
the Prodigys and standard BB went on to replace them
this way i get a little closer to finishing this build (or at least getting it rideable)
also while out today i bought some grips to complete the front end set up
perhaps controversially some Ergon GP1-S, i've been toying with the idea of a pair of these for a while,
and after trying a pair it had to be done
i also picked up the rear disc i needed and got some red anodised valve caps for my MountainCycle Moho
next job will be facing the Sharkfin adapter with the Hope Spot facing tool
as there is quite a lot of rub and no adjustment for the caliper
also the tyres went on today, i had them already as they came off my Boardman FS Team when i replaced them with some Maxxis Ignitors
