I have a Raleigh clunker frame from the mid 90's which is set up for a 51mm chain line...so I am hoping that any designation of square taper 51 CL bottom bracket will carry this crank. Am I right?

Hey Roy, I've never seen that on a BB. Is the old BB a three piece design? If you're moving to a cartridge style you'll have to measure, but likely a 118mm or 123mm spindle length will be what you need. Read this page http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/chainline-concepts it will help.

Yes, its a 9/10 speed crankset. The bottom bracket is included. If your interested here's a link to ebay where you can find the same crankset including the bb tool for $100 Shimano FC-M590 Deore Hollowtech II Crankset (Black, 175-mm 48/36/26T 9 Speed). Hope it all works out for ya.

130mm BCD is the spacing. It did not work for me. I wound up getting a new crankset, which also required a new lower bracket with longer spindle. It all worked out in the end.

Yes. It takes the modern square tapered spindle. I used a Sunlite tapered spindle bottom bracket unit for mine.

That's a pretty specific question. All I can say is that the crank sits fairly far out on the bottom bracket and I've ended up using short BBs like 118s or 123s.

I can't say what a "standard square" is...but I bought this to put on my Mongoose Beast and it fit just fine....I'm guessing that Mongoose (Pacific Cycle) uses standardized square taper size.

Measure your bottom bracket to be sure, but this is the most common size I've run into while replacing bottom brackets on bikes I fix. Provided your crank is a square taper and not an octalink or something like that.

its a 3/32 cog the chain will fit but it will be a little loose. However if your chainline is off this might work for you

There are different bcd (bolt circle diameter) for different cranks. If yours is a four bolt pattern it is most likely a 74 bcd and this one would work. However, there are many five bolt patterns such as 110 for compact road and 130 for standard road. So find the bcd for your cranks and you will have your answer.

@HankCostello: Your spindle is part of your bottom bracket. 133mm is quite long. So, continue use that BB, unless its worn out. The Shimano Alivio crank is JIS square taper. Your spindle will have to also be JIS if you want to use the Alivio crank.If you want to replace your BB with a Shimano: I used a Shimano sealed UN-55 Bottom bracket 68mm in mine with this crank. The ISO threadeing are either 68mm (standard) or 73mm (oversize) The UN-55 bottom bracket is available in 107, 110, 113, 115, 118, 122.5, 127.5 mm spindles when ordering.

Sure. Several things to check first: your bottom bracket must be a 'square taper' axle to fit the square taper holes in the crank. You will need to adjust the front derailleur upwards to clear the big chain ring, make sure your frame will allow that. Also, you may have to add links to the chain. Some frames will have water bottle braze-ons in the way, some suspension frames may have tubes in the way. If your bike has a triple crankset now, you can adjust your shifter to accommodate the double chainrings. Beyond those simple things to check, this crank should bolt on and work fine with your 7-spd cassette. Sure.

I really think it depends on your chainstay clearance, chainring and crank arms. What I did to figure that out was to use websites like this one: http://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html to figure out what length bottom bracket best worked for my bike. If you are running a triple, you should be at 45 (I'm assuming you are because you specifically asked about a chainline of 45), but a double should be 43.5mm...and on and on depending on your bike and gearing. You can also adjust the spacers on the back axle as well, but this shouldn't be necessary if you know that your rear (sprocket end) is at 45mm, which is what you are trying to achieve (explained here: http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=page&page_id=chainline). Sorry, not an easy yes or no answer. Just check those sites out and do the measurements and you should be ok. Hope I helped...good luck!

This crankset uses a standard, square taper, cartridge bottom bracket. It does not have an integrated axel like the newer, external bearing ones do.

Hi Mary, I think you need one that is specified for a 3 piece crank. Search 3 piece bottom bracket which Amazon displays and you should find the correct one. Research you bike model referencing the crank as well. Hope this helps. Greg

its going to make an old school crank, like a 1 piece design) adapt to a cartridge style bottom bracket, you decide the size of the bb, depending on the crank choice. hope that helps
