Hi All

Bottom bracket has disintegrated on my mates cheapy bike and needs replacing, it's Truvitav brand and 118mm spindle.

It does mention spaces-
68m shell use spacer to the right
68mm w/e e-type der or chainguide - no spacer
73mm shell - no spacer

Here's a pic -

    He has an ISIS bb not a power spline bb.

    Any ISIS 118mm bb to fit the shell width of the frame will do.

    As 'nicklouse' says. This is an ISIS bottom bracket.

    You wont find much cheaper. ISIS Bottom Brackets are a flawed design. The small ball bearings mean they fail on a regular basis after very short mileage.
