Thank you me and my friends have been trying to figure out how to swap American lose ball to sealed and did not want to spend money on unless random parts to convert our bikes

[@jessiedamon676]

your always gonna spend money with upgrades especial since he said the video you will also change spindal

[@pauljames4510]

Spanish BB got discontinued and all frames went to a Mid BB the American BB is Mid bearings in alloy cups and they are 19mm i would not go bigger then 22MM Mid BB size of the bearings is just right i think not to small and not to big 👍

[@luxbmxstore]

Yeah thought it was worth mentioning just for the guys with the older frames out there. Mid is the go!

[@jessiedamon676]

do they have cups for them ? on the american bb?

[@luxbmxstore]

Hi Jessie,
yeah the American bb come with the cups 🙂

[@hafizhassan3504]

May i know, can 25t/28t sprocket use at american bottom bracket?

[@luxbmxstore]

You certainly can. The only consideration you may have to think about is that many frames with American (USA) style BB shells, may have chainstay brake mounts and there may be issues with the chain line and brake caliper.

[@tatataters9891]

Is that 6903 type of bearing?

[@luxbmxstore]

Generally speaking, 9603 bearings will have a 17mm ID (internal diameter). Currently, there are very few BMX cranks or bottom brackets that use a spindle with a 17mm diameter.
