Best Budget Bottom Bracket?
I'm ordered an Eighth Inch Crankset for my SST AL. The crankset calls for a JIS Square Taper.
Any recommendations for a bottom bracket under $20-30? What's the difference between a budget BB and a more expensive one?
Also, any recommendation for BB length for the crankset?

Un-54
The filter keeps pwning this. Srsly, we can't post to capital letters next to each other even when it is the proper name of an item?

Thanks for the replies.
I want to replace the fork on my girlfriend's 47cm 2011 Dawes MTA. What do I have to look for when shopping for a fork (length, fork style, steerer tube length?)?

if you want to go one step fancier then an un-54, you can get tange/IRD QB-75. Ships with two alloy cups instead of one plastic like the UN does.
Prod info:
* QB-75 has alloy cups and body with a plated hollow CrMo spindle
* Sealed cartridge bearings
* Made in Japan by Tange Seki
* Only 240 grams

- Steer tube length (usually not an issue unless used fork with cut tube)
- Fork length (match existing fork)
- Fork rake angle (match existing fork)
- drilled or not drilled for brake
Example:
1 1/8" threadless fork. 700cc
Steerer Tube: 300mm Uncut
Axle to Crown Length: 375
Rake: 43 Degrees
