The hardware kit issued by StarTrac late August 2009 for their OEM bottom bracket, which included 2 socket head screws, 2 washers, and loctite, is not required for use with this bottom bracket.
Comments about Bottom Bracket Kit fits Certain Star Trac Indoor Cycles:
This should be available separated as well, to be able to purchase the shaft and the bearings as they tend to worn at a different ratio.

Axle and bearing should be sold separately. Bearings and axle fail at different rates.

Comments about Bottom Bracket Kit fits Certain Star Trac Indoor Cycles:
The only issue I have with the bottom bracket is that they should offer it both as a complete set and individual components - bearings and spindle. My experience has been that the Star Trac bottom braket spindles tend to crack far more frequently than the bearings fail. As a result, I have a lot of extra bearings. I would like to be able to purchase just the spindle.
