Agreed... Somehow I got started with Phil BB's on any really special bikes I had and have never had a problem. That said, I do like what I read about the SKF's but I have not seen one listed that would fit these AT cranks. Why I ended up fixated on the most hard to fit crankset is a recurring question... Well, maybe not the hardest, but still much more of a science (and art) project when it happens.
But, to quote an old movie, I shall "endeavor to persevere...". With luck, I will be riding the Joe today or tomorrow (with alternate cranks)! Then a phone call to PW on Monday to arrange for the BB surgery. Then more riding... :>) Thanks again for the help!
