Bottom Bracket size for an Atlantis

[Thomas K Sanderson]

I have a Sugino Alpina (34-48t ) crank and am having a hard time finding out what size of Phil Wood bottom bracket to order and install on an Atlantis bike.  Many, many thanks if someone can help.

I have that crank; the recommended BB size is 110.  That's what works on my Bleriot, but I have a Shimano BB, not a Phil.  Steve

I had an Alpina crank with a 107 Phil Wood on my Ebisu All purpose, but needed to set it up off center.  Phil's bb have up to 3 cm of variability in the set up, so I would feel confident with a 110 if I were setting up an Atlantis - which I wish I was!

I installed a 34-48 Sugina Alpina recently on my Waterford 1250. 110
mm was recommended, used a Simano that size and it worked great with
good chainline.

I just put the alpina on my AHH and the bottom bracket I got for it is
a 107mm. Seems to be okay - still dialing in the front derailler.

I agree. I have the same set but replaced the 48 with a 44 and love it. 110 bb works great for my Sam Hillborne.

Thomas:

On my Atlantis, I used a 110mm Shimano BB with a Sugino triple.
Clearance is only about 1mm. Next time I'll use a 113mm. For a
double, 110mm should work. Hopefully someone with your exact
combination will comment but from the above responses it sounds OK.

This topic has been discussed before & the consensus is that as long
as there is clearance it's not overly critical. Modern chains are
flexible enough to be run at an angle without problems.

I had a 110 BB and went with the 113 Phil on my Atlantis. There was almost no clearance otherwise. I have a Sugino tripple and the granny gear was the problem. Officially the Atlantis comes built by Riv with a 110.

Peter White uses a 120mm Phil on an Atlantis with TA Zephyr triple
cranks.

I think 107 or 110 would be to short given the curvature of the
chainstays to fit larger tires on an Atlantis.

thomas,

have you tried to contact Sugino? i use Sugino compact cranks 50/36 which use a 110mm BB. i would tend to think the Alpina uses the same. if you have an LBS im sure they can hand tightened a BB in you bike and lightly mount the crank to check fit. i have an Atlantis also and find it needs a slightly wider BB than recommended because of its wider chain stays.

I'm running a 110 BB on my Atlantis with a Sugino triple. My granny gear is 24t so keep that in mind

I have the Alpina with a 110mm SKF bottom bracket on my Sam Hillborne and fits great.  I know its not an Atlantis but slightly relative.
