Bottom Bracket -4- Record Crankset

*?* How can I ascertain whether it is a new or old Campy Record crankset?

That's a new (current model) crank. You need a current Record or Chorus bottom bracket with a
102mm axle.

102 ISO or "Campy taper". I have a Chorus that is like new in British 68 mm shell if you are
interested.

Thanks for the info - first person to help me (and I even called Campy USA)...

*How* did you know it was new and not old, though? Might help me in the future.

garen-<< I have a Campagnolo Record crankset (a double) that I would like to use on a new bicycle,
but I do not have the original bottom bracket. I have been told that if it's an older Campy crankset
it will probably work with any "standard" spindle/BB from Tange or Shimano, >><BR><BR> << but that
if it's "newer" then it might require Campy specific parts. I suppose this has something to do with
spindle taper. >><BR><BR>

If the crank says 'Campagnolo' and 'Record ' with the size on the arm outside, it needs a Campagnolo
102mm BB..If it just has a shield logo, then it needs a Campagnolo 111mm BB.

<< Campagnolo Record 172.5 Made in Italy 10 Speed C10 53/39 >><BR><BR>

Ya need a Chorus or Record BB in 102mm length.

The most obvious -

1. 10-speed is new by definition
2. Old Record cranks can't take a 39 tooth ring.

Aw, shucks!

In fact Paul Kopit's answer was more general. Suitable bottom brackets are made by FSA, Royce, Phil
Wood and others, not just Campagnolo.

Campagnolo have been making Record cranks of one type or another since the fifties, but all their
Record cranks produced since the mid nineties have used a 102mm axle, including all of those
designed for ten speed use.

A quibble: Corsa-Record cranks used a 135mm bcd (and would therefore accept a 39t ring) but required
a 111mm bottom bracket.
