Trying to get a new Bottom Bracket and Crank Set for my track bike wonder exactly what i need to get?
The current bottom bracket is 68mm x 110. Should i just buy the same size? How do i know the new crank set will fit properly and maintain the chain line? Do i need to buy a bottom bracket made specifically for the crank set i’m going to get?
68mm is the bottom bracket shell width, 110 is the spindle length for the crank you have. You usually need to check what spindle length you need for your crankset, this varies according to the design of the crank

If your unsure about large commercial tracks, there are smaller tracks (race circuits) around the country.
Pembrey race circuit is a very popular track located in south west Wales.
The 1.45 mile circuit is built on an old airfield near Swansea. Although geographically it may be a little remote for some, it is well worth a visit.
The circuit is very flat, and it can be difficult to orientate yourself because of the lack of reference points. The long Park Straight has a kink, and shortly afterwards heavy braking must be applied for the extremely tight Hatchetts hairpin.
A short squirt takes you to Spitfires, a straight forward right-hander, and then to Dibeni, a faster left. It is difficult to pick up the turn-in point for Paddock because the circuit is wide and flat here, and on the exit you must get to the Left Hand side of the track for the equally difficult-to-spot Esses. brooklands is a slow right-hander, and it is important to carry lots of exit speed onto the Speedway straight
Depending on the weather, the accerleration potential of your vehicle and the grip available, Woodlands may or may not be a flat-out kink, but it is important to be accurate because of the speeds involved. It is important to get through the fast Honda Curve well, in order to carry as much speed as possible onto the never-ending Park Straight.
Motorcycle track days are regular at Pembrey, Phil Bevan is the regular organiser and holds track days quite often.
