I recently picked up an Omas Big Sliding bottom bracket from a list member. As I was looking it over, it looked quite a bit like a stronglight BB I had. Pulled it out and except for the markings, they seem identical. Both used SKF sealed bearings. Both have the same double of double lockring alloy cups. Both have hollow Ti Axles.
Does anyone know if there is a connection or is it just coincidence? The reason I ask is because I would like to know if the spindles are interchangeable. Measurements seem the same, but I'm always leery of using combos that were not meant to be.
