Miche BB with Campy Record Cranks?

erikv said:

My Campy Record crankset uses a 102mm square taper bottom bracket.

From what I can tell, the last square taper generation bottom brackets
from Campagnolo are not offset towards the drive side. Does anyone
know if a Miche 102mm track BB would work as an cheap alternative?

Well, the cups on the Miche don't have shoulders, so you should be
able to set whatever chainline you want.

I know the Record Triple used an offset 110 so you weren't supposed to
use an ACH, ACS or SCS 110, but I'm unsure about the 102.

Should be fine if it's symmetrical and ISO.

Just for record, it's 111.

The 102 is symmetrical.

Sorry, typo, that should be "Just for *the* record"!

Note the lower case "r" too.

My bad...I use a Phil Wood ISO, which is 110.5.

Okay, thanks for the insight. I'll give it a try.

The Miche appears to be made by the same vendor as Campagnolo's ACH and
it is similarly priced at a similar quality level. 102? Our Miche
Primato Pista are symmetric 107mm.
A Record, your Record w/new bearings, a 102 Chorus or a Phil Wood are
other alternates.
