Stronglite/Tange BB compatibility
My '75 (I believe) Motobecane Grand Jubile is finally in queue for a build up. My concerns are with the BB. It came with Tange English threaded cups in an English threaded BB. The crankset I want to use is a Stronglite 93. Am I going to run into compatibility issues using the Stronglite axle (which came in a French bike) in the Tange cups? Is it just a matter of dropping in bearings and grease, screw the cups in and go or is there some other issue I need to be aware of.
