Accordion bottom bracket sleeve. Used, $5.00

Tioga bottom bracket sleeve. Used, $10.00/each
- Pretty elastic for a snug fit!

Hatta English Cups & Bearings. New, $20.00/set
- In one of the photos below it looks like someone tried to pry out the retainer. After checking the cup, in our opinion it is just a surface discoloration.
- The retainers are pressed in, and if so desired, can be removed. The retainers are there only to assist in keeping the bearings in place when installing the cups, though we suppose that with a plastic accordion sleeve, could help prevent contamination.
- We can remove the retainers with a bearing puller if requested.

And the insides

A slightly different look at the insides.

Here's a close-up of one of the cups.

The tops of the cups.

The bearing surfaces, surprisingly nice.
Unknown maker French-threaded (35 x 1) adjustable cup. Used, $20.00/each

We don't know who made this, but he did it a long me ago.

Here's the inside of the cup
Swiss-threaded 35 x 1 cup set. Used, $30.00.set
- Swiss threads are 35mm X 1mm (25.4 tpi), almost like French threads, except the fixed cup has left-handed threads.
- These cups are of European manufacture, but we cannot tell you which company made them.

Not new, but perfect for restoring a vintage Swiss bike.

The bearing surfaces

Another close-up.
