Bottom bracket 60s Schwann cruiser

[HankMoody]

What modern bottom brackets are people using on their 60s Schwinn cruisers these days?

Any OPC ready BB should work. If talking of cheaper ones i usually use NECO, if i need something special i go for sealed bearings Tioga sets.

Be aware that if you plan to use the Schwinn crank that you need 28tpi. The majority of one piece cranks/ bb are 24tpi.

I was planning on using something more up to date. A mix of modern and vintage

Then a BMX setup may be a good idea, though often these things are more pricey.

I used a sealed bearing bottom bracket in an adapter on my Typhoon. Worked great, I'll be buying more of the sealed bottom brackets in the future I'm sure.

This is exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you.
