Hi all
I need a new BB but am very confused!!!(I am currently running a 2006 kona shred with a "truVativ Ruktion-Howitzer" or so it says on the kona site)

Firstly-I don't know whether to shell out a bit more and buy a better one or just go for a like-for-like one.

Secondly- I don't know what size it is and if I were to get a different one which ones will fit.

    Well you need another Howitzer bb as those are the only ones that work with the Howitzer cranks.

    the only thing to worry about is the chainline and that can be seen from the part number on the current bb. (50 or 52mm)
