  1. You need to know your BB width. Also, this gets technical, you need to get the right spindle length if you are using a 3-pc crank or the right amount of spacers if you are using a 2-pc crank.

    The best bet is to go to a Bike Shop and have them measure the BB and your crank and look in a catalog to see what is compatible.


  2. Did you like your old BB?  If so, just buy the same one, and then it's guaranteed to fit, and you won't have to replace the whole crank assembly.
