rgenesis Dirt Disciple Dec 2, 2010 #1 Ok this is probably a silly question, but I need a BB with a square taper for a new frame. How do you know what length to go for?? 118 122 etc..

CAPIN Retro Guru Dec 2, 2010 #7 there it says 110-113, so there you go. I would get 110 then. luckily you probably will not want to use some expensive titanium bb on acera cranks. that means bb will cost you nothing.
