mtb is euro."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

But they can be different widths. some makers do different spacer kits for the alternatives.
68mm wide is the standard, them there is 73mm and 83mm and even 100mm wide bb shells. but the diameter of the cups/threads do not change."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

well as the P series has a 73mm wide bb shell ask if they do the 73mm spacer for the bottom braket."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

ask. most BMX brands come for 68mm. but there may be some washers you could use."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
