2013 Trek 1.1 BB Size?

[944fan]

Does anyone happen to know the size of the BB on 2013 Trek 1.1?

My axel is bent and I don't currently have a BB removal tool. Just trying to avoid having to go to the shop to buy a tool, come home, remove it and then go back to the shop. Pure laziness. But that's what PH is for right?

It's a standard size (68mm, English thread) but of more relevance to the tool side of things is that it appears to be a square taper BB, so you'll need the appropriate tools for that.

Yes it is a taper. The tools aren't much so will get one.

I guess I can measure the spindle length whilst it is still on the bike with the cranks removed? Might be hard telling the difference between some as they vary by a couple of mil.

Wunderbar. Got the BB out. It's 110.5 mm. Seems like Shim don't make a compatible length so I am stuck with Chinese made crap. Can 0.5mm make much difference? Could I get away with a 110mm one?

Yep, it'll be fine.
