  1. Wha? I'm confused.
    Why does a BB have to be compatible with only specific crank sets? BB connects to the cranks, front derailleur, and chain rings, not the rear hub.

    Thanks!

  2. It has some importance in the Chain Line (if your chainrings are too much outward or inwards you will have difficulties to adjust front derailleur, therefore the chain will always rattle or fall off a ring. Thanks

  3. It appears that this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer as of May 23, 2017.
