About this product
This is a vintage Sakae bottom bracket from Japan, featuring a 1.37x24T BSA (English) shell type and a Square Taper - JIS spindle. Constructed from steel, it's compatible with a wide range of bicycle types including mountain, road, gravel, and touring bikes. It's intended as a replacement or upgrade part for older bicycles, particularly those from brands like Nishiki and Trek that may have originally used similar components. The set includes three items.
Our take
For anyone restoring or maintaining a vintage bicycle, this Sakae bottom bracket is a solid find. Its Square Taper - JIS spindle and BSA threading are period-correct for many older bikes, making it compatible with a vast array of cranks. The steel construction suggests good durability, which is important for a component that sees a lot of stress. It's great to see a part that can breathe new life into classic bikes, compatible with many different types, from mountain to road. The vintage origin from Japan also adds to its authenticity for retro builds. At $35.99, it's a reasonable investment for a specific repair or restoration.
