I need to replace the Nervar bottom bracket in my Schwinn Sport Tourer. The races are all chewed up. Can I use a Japanese (e.g. Suntour) BB with the Nervar crankset or are the tapers different?

One of the reason I've been a fan of Nervar cranks is that they use both a standard taper spindle and a standard crank puller. So, yes, a Suntour BB will work. Nervar made some beautiful and under-rated French cranks.
