anyone know where i can get some somewhere that still sells them as i think they may not make them anymore?
if not then does anyone have any thay are willing to sell? with or without bearings.
cheers
E-Mail DMR from their site, they've been fast on the reply with me in the past over spare part enquiries and such. All other 'consumable' parts (bearing/washers/axle etc) are still available, probably more of a special case needing just the frame cups.
ok il give it a try... still if anybody has any though then would appreciate that too!! 😀
If i remember correctly DMR are 3 piece cranks Is your bike a mtb/european bottom bracket and how big is the crank spindle 19mm If yes you may well be able to use something like this [img]

A 20mm axle?? I'd check that with DMR whilst asking for some cups. What I'm saying, basically you have bought a 3 piece crank. These cranks normally come with a 19mm or 22mm spindle/axle. 3 piece cranks are most commonly used on bmx bikes. bmx bikes have 4 different types of bottom bracket american, mid, spanish and european. European bottom brackets are used on mountain bikes so you may be able to use another brand such as above.
have you got a picture of your current bb and axle?
i can take some photos of it but i cant put them on here, if you give me your email adress i can send you one or two if you reckon it will help you help me?
hi my email is ands43@hotmail.com
I had a look on alans bmx website there do seem to be 20mm spindles. you could try calling them as they might be able to help with a DMR alternative.
If you send me pics of the cups and bike bb i will try to shed some light on the problem.

Think these are pretty similar, I have Chieftains and I am pretty sure they would fit with these, as long as the axle diameter is the same it should be fine as the alxe is tightened up from either side by using correct spacers.
your in luck, got some in my shed looking about £14 posted includes bearings and some spacers aswell.
