Hello. While installing a new chain on an older MTB bike, I discovered that the bottom bracket was almost worn out.
I removed it and found that it has exactly this composition (BB UN-300) so I need to order it and replace it. Before ordering, I want to ask two questions:
I found that the left crank is about 5 mm further from the frame than the right. Measured against the right and left frame tubes facing the rear wheel axle. Wouldn't it be better to use a 118 mm axle length?
I don't know if only the length of the left part of the axle changes and the right side remains the same so that the chain line doesn't change.
Unfortunately, the composition did not last long. Is it possible to assume that the FSA BB-7420ST composition will be of better quality?

Dobry den,
Shimano malo spravidla dva typy stvorhranov - oznacenie LL, resp. D-NL - pri D-NL verzii bude kluka posunuta viac dolava, LL verzia bude "standardna" - presne pre to, ako pisete, aj pri rovnakej dlzke osky bude odlisna retazova linka.
Co sa tyka toho FSA stredu - tam je to opat zial trosku ine, a samozrejme do istej miery "loteria" - tazko odhadnut s akou presne retazovou linkou budu Vase kluky v kombinacii s tymto stredom disponovat, toto je zial nevyhodou stvorhranov a kombinacie roznych vyrobcov :/
Hello.
Thank you for your response today, April 6, 2025. I looked at the removed bottom bracket and found that it is a D-NL type.
According to what you wrote to me, I should not experiment and should order exactly the same composition.
In the e-shop you only have one D-NL configuration and the dimensions are the same as the one I removed. So I assume the item description applies because the picture shows the LL configuration.

The reviews for this composition are not good, but is there anything else I can do?
Thank you
Dobry den,
ano, urcite plati nazov produktu, resp. popis - obrazky su pri niektorych produktoch, najma ak sa jedna o identicky produkt len v inom rozmere, ilustracne.
Ako vravim, pri stvorhranoch, najma ak sa kombinuju rozni vyrobcovia kluk a stredu, je to zial casto metoda pokus-omyl, najma aby clovek dosiahol dokonalu retazovu linku. Ale ano, zakladom a realtivne najvacsou istotou je pouzivat rozmery, ktore pre dane kluky udava vyrobca.
Dobrý deň.
Chcel by som sa opýtať či je možné na toto zloženie použiť túto kľuku: https://www.mtbiker.sk/shop/komponenty/kluky-a-prevodniky/mtb/2-prevodnik/shimano-stred-altus-mt101-175mm-36-22z-9-k-cierny-bez-krytu-na-stvorhran.html
A ešte prosím aké náradie potrebujem na montáž tohto zloženia?
Ďakujem
Dobrý deň prajem,
áno, kľuky Vám na tento stred sadnú bez problémov.
Čo sa týka náradia, budete potrebovať https://www.mtbiker.sk/shop/servis-a-trening/naradie/stahovaky-na-stredy/shimano-stahovak-tlun74s-na-stredove-zlozenie-octalink-stvorhran.html na dotiahnutie misiek, a vhodný imbusový kľúč na montáž a dotiahnutie skrutiek kľúk k samotnému stredovému zloženiu.

Kellys Coach Helix 2013 bike. I want to change the bottom bracket, it's been broken for 12 years and I only know that a 122.5mm axle length is needed. But I don't know at all whether I need a 68 or 72mm version. Does anyone have experience with this bike? I can't find a detailed description anywhere on the internet. Yes, I understand that it's best to take it apart and look, but asking hasn't killed anyone. Thanks in advance to a good person who will be willing to advise how to find out the diameter.

Zjistíš to jednoducho- číslo 68 či 73mm určuje šírku stredového domčeka (nie priemer). Stačí premerať posuvvným meradlom dĺžku stredového domčeka na rámu bicykľa.
Hello, what is the difference between this axle and this https://www.mtbiker.sk/shop/komponenty/stredove-zlozenia/oska-stvorhran/shimano-tourney-bb-un300-68-mm-zapuzdrena-os-stvorhran.html.
Dobrý deň,
jedná sa o rovnakú osku v rovnakej dĺžke, akurát z inej dodávky výrobcu, resp. od iného dodávateľa, inak sú oba modely v špecifikácii zhodné.
Prosim Vas, mam stred BC 1,37 x 24T, 68x120.
Tento stred je 68x123, co cca 1,5 mm sirsi na kazdej strane. Moze to byt problem?
Alternativa je 68x118.
Co by ste mi odporucili? 118 ci 123
Vzadu mam 7 kolecko(Shimano 7-kolo, 14-34T) a predu 3 (Shimano Tourney FC-TY501 170cm, 48/38/28T).
Dobrý deň, nemusí to byť problémom - kľuky budú teda len o niečo ďalej od osi rámu, kríženie reťaze tak bude trošku vyššie, avšak pri správnom radení (t.j. nie do kríža) by to nemal byť problém, rozdiel v reťazovej linke bude minmálny.
Pri užsom stredovom zložení je to teda naopak, kľuky budú bližšie k rámu, príp. môže hroziť kontakt či už kľúk, alebo prevodníkov so samotným rámom.
Hello,
According to the specifications of the CTM Twister 3.0 2020 bike, a NECO 122.5mm axle should be installed there. Is it possible to replace it with this one? Or if not with this one, what could it be replaced with?
Thank you
Dobry den,
podla vami uvedenej specifikacie by oska mala sediet - pokial je povodna Neco oska v standarde 4-hran JIS.
Hello, I would like to ask (see attachment). Could you recommend me an accounting replacement for the work? Thank you.

Automatically translatedThe original center was 68x120mm, now I bought this 68x123. Today I successfully installed it.
The shifting is great, I just have to be careful not to cross the limit gears, otherwise the chain rubs against the derailleur.
With the 120mm center of gravity, I could steer at any speed and it was fine.
v pohode. vcera som sice zistil ze som malo zasroboval misku a vyrazne som zatazil lozisko, prakticky som to lamal, zatial zije.
