The Shimano Bottom Bracket BSA 126mm/68mm is a reliable, threaded bottom bracket designed for classic BSA (English) bottom bracket shells. With a 68 mm shell width and 126 mm axle length, it is ideal for many older road, touring, city, and hybrid bikes that use square-taper style cranksets. Shimano is known for smooth-running bearings and long-lasting components, making this bottom bracket a solid choice when refreshing a worn drivetrain or completing a period-correct build.
This unit is built to handle everyday riding, from commuting to weekend fitness rides. The sealed bearing design helps keep out dirt and moisture, reducing maintenance and extending service life. Its BSA threading makes installation straightforward for most standard steel and aluminum frames using English threads. Whether you are restoring a vintage bike, upgrading an older drivetrain, or simply replacing a tired bottom bracket, the Shimano Bottom Bracket BSA 126mm/68mm offers dependable performance, compatibility with many square-taper cranks, and the trusted quality associated with Shimano components.
