The VP VP-BC73 is an English-threaded cartridge bottom bracket for bikes using a JIS square-taper crankset. Its sealed cartridge bearings provide a contained, low-maintenance bearing system, while the boron steel axle is built for regular cycling use.
Construction combines cold-forged, phosphated steel cups with an anodised aluminium sheath, giving the unit a sturdy, corrosion-conscious build. The model is available with 107 mm or 118 mm spindle lengths, and the listed 68 mm shell width suits frames using the corresponding English-threaded standard.
Before buying, check your frame’s bottom-bracket shell width, the crank manufacturer’s required spindle length and the thread standard. This model is also listed as suitable for 8bar SUPER and SUPER Gravel cranksets, making it a straightforward replacement when those dimensions match.
