Hey,

I recently bought an on one the gimp frame off of ebay, it was in it's raw state that they did for a short period :) I bought as i wanted to make a strong dj build, but i cannot find out what size bb i need :cry: I think i remember seeing somewhere say it is a USA BMX bb, but after searching online last night i can't find this info again and no where seems to tell me what size it is.... this is really bugging me, i will be looking into getting a conversion kit and not sure if a BMX to euro mtb bb will be ok. Please help if you can or point me in the direction of someone who can :D

Many thanks

    looked at the standards on Parktools?

    Euro is threaded. BMX is not.

    Ok, would the dmr wondercups (BMX to euro) be ok? If it is a US bmx bb, is that larger than a standard bmx bb? :)

    US is BMX, yes you can use Wonder cups to convert.
