I need to replace the Power Spline BB on my 2013 Trek Fuek EX5. I took it out and it says the spindle length is 118mm, however I'm not sure on the shell width. It says in the old unit that with an E Type guide I'll need a 68mm but without ill need 73mm. I don't have a guide on it. I can't seem to find a dedicated 73x118 power spline BB but a lot of 68x118. Will a 68 x 118 fit my frame?

    Measure the width of the BB shell is it 73 or 68?

    That is what you will need.

  • Measured it at 73mm. Just hoping that 68mm fit both just as an off chance as I'm struggling to find a 73x118
