My son has a Mongoose mode 180 and his bearings are bad. He said he needs a bottom bracket set, but I'm not too sure if this is what he needs or if it's something else. Is this the right one?Any help would be appreciated.

Bottom bracket installation requires specialized tools. So even if you are able to find the propper size BB you would still need to buy the tooling. That's not very cost effective for something you're only going to do one time. I would weigh out the cost of taking it to a bike shop against the price of a new bike. Good luck

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

"Bearings" is an overstatement IMHO, though some call bushings bearings. The wheels include a pressed in bushing that rides on the axle. It's been a long time since I got these for my dad, so I don't know if it is a powdered metal oiled busing or a high-density polymer bushing.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

The sizes are universal. With these trucks I would suggest 70mm orangutan wheels, bones reds bearings, and any hardware set will do. And if you don't have grip tape on your board, or you want new tape. I would suggest Black Diamond tape.

NONE! The bearings in this board are perfectly fine. Just ride it and you'll see. Why spend more $$ on other bearings just to say you have name brand bearings. Blah blah blah. Ride it and you 'll see they are perfectly fine, fast and fun!

Just a regular sector 9 mounting set of 2 in long screws will do. Reds or Super Reds bearings are good and you can use bones wheels, sector 9 wheels, most wheels will fit.

This is a front steering hub bearing assembly. The rear axle bearings are completely different. I will say this, I'd been using cheap NAPA bearings in my front hubs which my truck would eat up yearly and I was constantly changing. Since I put in the Timken bearing I haven't had to change a front bearing.

The bearings consist of two sealed cups that thread into the bottom bracket on each side. The crank is attached to a hollow shaft that slides through these cups. This design is called Hollowtech II by Shimano. I'm not sure about the width, as it may work for a range of widths. I used this to replace a 68 mm English threaded BB on my 2008 Specialized Hard Rock XC Disk and it worked out well. It comes with plastic spacers that allow you to adjust the chainline (distance between the seat tube center and middle chainring). I believe all of the spacers must be used, but you shift the cranks side to side by changing the number of spacers under each bearing cup.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

This crankset comes with a hollow style BB. There is a special tool that has the correct tooth profile, but I just used a strap wrench to tighten the cup in place. Its always a good idea to chase the BB threads with the correct tap, or have a local bike shop do it. After maybe 50 off road miles, I had a breakdown, but from my rear derailleur. While I had the bike apart I noticed the cranks were turning smoothly, but not freespinning, like there was some seal friction, so it may be wiser to either use a torque wrench to adjust/tighten the BB cups. Shimano always gives very specific instructions, so thats a plus. This crankset comes with a hollow style BB.

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.

Hello Laura, The bottom bracket is reverse threaded so it does not come loose when pedaling. As far as the size wrench you need i'm not 100% but you could use a crescent wrench to loosen the nut. We do not manufacturer this bottom bracket so I do not know the exact size mm for the ball bearings. let me know if this info helps you at all. Thank you!

You may not like the answer. But I had problem with rear wheel bearing. After one weekend bearing literally disintegrated. I could not find part on web site and tech support was unhelpful, needed picture of it???? Probably last Chinese bike I buy

Bushings. It used to use bearings but the service tech told me that they switched about a year before I bought it. It's the weak link in an otherwise really good machine. The bushings are cheap plastic material that I had to get changed twice.

Not sure to be honest. I switched them out with Bone Swiss bearings as soon as I got it. However I wouldn't doubt that the stock bearings it comes with aren't terrible.

I am not sure,, kind of thinking you might need the 19b size?? I had a very hard time finding a replacement, I think it might have started when i bought a pair of mislabel covers. I would suggest calling the bearing buddy website if they have one. I just dont want to steer you wrong, it was such an ordeal i am not totally clear which of the 3 purchases really fit. sorry, good luck
