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

I just realized which trucks you were buying. Any standard 70 mm wheel and bearing kit is great. Get a riser and bolt length depending on how you are mounting them and how thick the riser is. I would recommend a full kit that includes everythung. Bearings are standard sizes. Sorry I didn't read through before answering.

My set of these came with adapters that enable you to put them on either of the two types of mounts. I put them on my Mongoose 29 from Walmart. They work a lot better than the standard Promax that came on the bike. One thing that might be a negative is that on my bike the wheels kind of warp to the side of the disc when the brake/brakes are applied.

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!

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

@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.

The 19B is designed for 2" Outside Diameter (OD) bearing assemblies. Sizing of the Bearing Buddy is not determined by tire/rim sizes. Check OD of your bearings.

I don't know and you don't need to know. All you need to know is bones bearings are the best bearings on the planet period. I'm sure if you go to their website you can find answers there.

Yes. Internal bearing seemed to be of good quality. Overall, mounts work great. Although my old mounts appeared normal, I went ahead and replaced it anyway.

The bearings are better as guides. I believe the upper guide mount is different for the block style..

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:)

buy another one. :) I contacted the company for replacement bearings and they never responded at all. I think you're on your own with this one

your handlebars go through the headtube which is connected to the deck. above and below the head tube are the headsets that hold the bearings in place. The clamp hold the handlebars to the forks, under the clamp you will find two nuts. First try tightening the bottom nut to see if it just came loose, it probably didn't. Second loosen the clamp and remove the handlebars, then loosen the locking nut, (the top one), then loosen the bottom nut. Be careful you will see a bearing in the top headset and the bottom headset if it all falls out, don't be surprised, if your handlebars cannot be fixed with just tightening the bottom adjusting nut then you will need to replace the bearings. You can get replacement bearing for about $20 a set at a place called urban gravity (www.ugscooter.com). I learned this the hard way if you don't keep the lower adjusting nut locked down with the top locking nut you can wipe a bearing out pretty fast, plus it comes with cheap bearings. hope this helps

Hey Guys, I just received a 2nd, 3-tiered unit. Low and behold, again with the same 2x3" support bracket that Michael Vitale commented on on May 23. As I don't see any replies that appear to be from manufacturer's reps, I'm going to do a bit more research. If no further response from me, you can figure that I sent it back. Bummer.
