Mystery Ti BB

[Dr S]

Got round to having a look at the spare Ti BB that came with the Funk. I really should have taken a pic but did not have camera, so will try and describe it.
It has blue ano cups that meet each other when installed, sealing the unit. The cartridge bearings are a good qual Japanese brand that I have come across on race car suspensions, very light and pretty thin. Spindle has a Ti circlip in the middle and it has 6 different width and colour coded ano tube sections that fit over spindle and up against circlip to adjust offset/chainline. Overall quality of machining and standard of finish is very good. Also lighter than the Syncros BB I have.

Any ideas guys??

The only company I know that uses a circlip in the centre of the spindle and a series of ano tubes to space and align the cups is a Real Crankcase BB.

You, i am almost certain, have a MRC/McMAHON GUN bottom bracket..

very nice rare piece of kit and well worth refreshing with new bearings and a good clean..

Ahhhhh, thats the little fella, same as the top one. Thanks for that. Bearings are sound and it has cleaned up as new and spins a treat. Nice little addition to the Funk
