Mr TW has a 2010 Giant Talon 0 which we are using as a turbo bike. The bottom bracket needs replacing. I can't find the spec anywhere but I'm fairly certain it is Octalink. How do I work out what size? Where would I measure it?

Thanks for any help.

Remove the old one. It should be labelled with the relevant sizes. You need to know the BB width (68 or 73 mm), E-type or regular derailler, plus spindle length. The spindle length is the tricky bit. I think 113 mm is most common, but they vary according to the specific cranks.

I've got an ES25 68x113mm, ES52 68x118mm and a ES51 73x121mm.

If you find out its either of those you're welcome to it for postage. All running fine.

If your lbs is a giant dealer, take the frame number to them, they can punch it into the dealer site and it will tell you and them exactly which one you need.
