Shimano UN300 Square Taper English Bottom Bracket (Silver) (BSA) (68mm) (122.5mm)
My 2017 Trek FX.2 had +7000 miles on it and was time to replace most of the moving bits. Replaced the bottom bracket with a UN300. The original bracket (VP BC-73) was 68 x 121.5 for JIS square-taper cranks. The UN300 was slightly longer (122.5 vs 121.5 mm) and changed the chain-line, requiring that the front derailleur needed adjusting. All-in-all, the UN300 easily fit into the bicycle frame and appears to be better quality then the original bracket.

I used this to replace a >30 year old cup/cone original BB. I measured the spindle length and ordered the cartridge BB with the same spindle length. But no- it didn't work- the chainline is now too long by about 7 mm which makes a huge difference. I searched the internet and Shimano website to find anything explaining how far to the right the spindle extends, because spindle length alone does not tell the whole story. No luck. Ordering a second BB now and hoping it works.
