Here is a new version of Spanish bb set that weīve been working on. Some time ago we thought that using the same bearing system as the headset have this advantages:
- You can put the bearings with your hand
- You can regulate how hard you want your cranks to spin (for tailwhips and stuff)
- You can forget about the inside spacer.
The bb shell has the same diameter as the Spanish bb with a 37mm. OD bearing.
We have also made an insert that allows to use this system on any Spanish bb frame.
Hope you like the idea. Weīll keep you informed about this

set
Bearing fits with your hand
Slide the crank
Tight crank until you get the spinning hardness that you want
Tight the cone
Tight the crank a bit more to fix it
Done!
This is the insert to fit any Spanish bb
The insert is pressed with the hand. That small cut help it to stay in place.

The BB looks pretty good but warrants lots of testing time. I also think you guys might enjoy this great picture posted on Fly's website:
