The shell is much wider right? Does anyone make a square taper bottom bracket that will suit? I have an old set of square taper cranks already hence the question!

I'll be building an on one fatty.

Any advice or help welcome. Thanks.

Phil Wood square taper 10mm BB is available. I have one with Middleburns and its a lovely made bit of kit. It is quite pricy but you can service it with just new sealed bearings, and if you have cranks then still cheaper than a full 100mm crankset. My PW has been great value lasting so long, and has only needed 3 sets of bearings in 5 1/2 years of beach riding.
Tim at Sideways should be able to help you out 🙂
