    if it's a road bike then axle width is usually 108mm for a double and 118 for a triple. MTB is 113mm

    as for make/model then SKF do some good ones, but pricey. The FSA platinums are reasonably okay. The Mtb ones are heavier but possibly more durable (don't quote me on that though).

    Generally speaking ISIS has a bad rep, and rightfully so. The SKF ones are the only BBs that don't get criticised regularly.
