Hey All, this is my first time changing my BB that is a cartridge. I have a Specialized Rockhopper that currently has a a " pinnaccle Samox BB" ( https://www.evanscycles.com/pinnacle-sa ... oCtwXw_wcB )

I see all these 'square tapered' fancy words and i have no idea what will fit my bike! WIll something like this Shimano BB-R60 fit? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-bb-r60- ... owtech-ii/

Essentially what bottom bracket will fit do you guys know? Any around the £10-15 mark would be nice 8)

    You have a 24mm external BB, 24mm is the SHimano standard, so yes any Shimano or Shimano compatable will fit but it needs to be an MTB BB as road ones create a narrower fitment.

    Square taper has an axle that is square and tapered at each end!

    pay the extra and get the xtr bb93 if you have a 68/73mm bb shell size.
