  1. Anybody have any experience with the IRD BB's seen here?

    http://www.interlocracing.com/bbs.html

    Says they are made by Tange. Anybody have one?

  2. Doesn't Shimano contract out its UN-7x and 5x square taper bb to Tange?
    If so, good stuff for little money.....

  3. I believe that Tange makes most of the bottom brackets made in Japan.
    Sugino, Shimano, Sakae, SR, Suntour, etc., were made by Tange. They
    also make great headsets. Tange - the biggest bearing-parts maker
    you've never heard about ...

    Indeed, they even made OEM forks - SEKAI and RALEIGH both used TANGE
    OEM forks.

  6. I must be old, I remember when Tange tubing was right up there with
    Columbus and Reynolds tubings, and considered one of the best!!!

    Tange II road tubing

    Tange OS tubing

    Then again, I also like Ishiwata, Vitus, Oria and Excell tubing
    too.....
