So if you have a bmx botyom bracket it will fit. **Q: Will this fit in a 50mm cup?** A: It doesn’t go in the cups, it replaces the cups on standard one piece ashtabula crank bikes so you can use 3 piece cranks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works better than cheaper units *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023* Did not want to pay $30 for adapter. Tried $15 listed unit and regretted it. Fit the hole easily with a little filing. Bottom bracket threaded easily. Tried cheaper units first to my regret. Cheaper units did not fit well in tube. Once in, then found cheap unit had wrong threads in it. Thus, pay the price for cheap unit. Should have bought this unit first. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Put modern bottom bracket in old bike *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023* Works great to convert the bottom brack and crank on an old Schwinn to modern enclosed bearings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great product for an experienced owner/mechanic *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019* I purchased this for an old Chicago Schwinn cruiser that uses a 3-piece (square taper) crank. I'd been using an open-bearing conversion kit since 1992, but the cones were getting old and pitted.First things first: it's a great-looking product, but no instructions are included. None at all. Just two identical-looking internally-threaded adaptor cups and three long bolts. Now if you're experienced with threaded bottom brackets, you know that nearly all of them have a left-hand thread for the fixed cup (or cartridge equivalent) on the right side and a right-hand thread for the adjusting cup on the left side - they are not swappable, unless you want a constantly-unscrewing bottom bracket. I tested threads until I identified the left-hand thread side (on my set, the one with the three threaded holes for the long bolts) and pressed it into the right side of the shell, followed by the right-hand thread one (on my set, the one with three countersunk unthreaded bolt openings) in the left side of the shell. After this, assembly went quickly, and the cups seated nicely. On my Schwinn, it accepts 68 mm width loose/raced bearing or cartridge bottom brackets without difficulty (73 mm BBs are too wide and won't seat properly - I tested one).Based on the product alone, I'd give it five stars, but since instructions aren't included, I'm reducing it one star. It looks like it should be durable - we'll see.Update: over two years of service and hundreds of miles later, it’s holding up great. Hasn’t loosened or needed any adjustment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/159509099-alta-bicycle-american-to-european-bottom-bracket-conversion-kit-multiple](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/159509099-alta-bicycle-american-to-european-bottom-bracket-conversion-kit-multiple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
