> Tom sez:

"Going from memory, the ID of the bearing on that BB is 16mm- that's the issue. The OD and width is fairly common but that 16mm ID is the killer."

Also going from memory, isn't 16mm the size Phil Wood used in his old style bottom brackets???

BTW, the Stronglight cartridge BB which mounts without threads is a low cost and low precision unit, nothing like the quality and precision of Mavic.
