Title: Beast World Cup Bottom Bracket
Post by: TheRo0sTer on July 14, 2008, 06:26:39 pm

I just noticed my bottom bracket making a ton of noise really close to bearings going bad. Does anyone know what size they are? Are they something that I can still find? Standard size maybe?

I'm not sure what year. It's the Green World Cup Beast seen below!

Yup, that's an x56 "World Cup Frame" based Beast from 1996.

68x110 as Kiwi says.

I've got a 68x113 in my XP-X (x56) and it makes minimal difference. (just need to adjust the derailleur)

Thanks for the compliments on the Beast. Believe it or not I paid $150 for it about 1yr ago. Elastomers were shot and I was lucky enough to find NIB at a local shop who used to be a ProFlex dealer. They had 4 brand new ODS shocks front and rear with elsotmers.  :o  Sadly those pooped out the 1st summer it reached 105*f in my garage. :-\ Oh and it had the original gum wall tires on it when I got it. 8)

I was actually considering selling it. It's just too nice to get rid of. I just purchased some Hayes 9s for it and will be selling the Maguras on it by next week.]

Thanks for the HELP on the bottom bracket. I'll be replacing that this week-end.

So I was able to find the bottom bracket I needed, but it turns out I didn't need it. ::) The cap screw that hold the bushing in the swing arm mounts came loose. So I tore it down, cleaned and lubed it with high pressure grease. No more squeeks from my Beast. 8)

Sure will! I just machined some brackets to put Disc brakes on. I'm pleased with the front, the rear is bulky but I made it work. ;) I'll take it out tomorrow and snap some current pics.

Oh yeah Red lever Magura Hydro brake set for sale!
