Campagnolo Chorus BB question

I don't think it is. The Chorus uses a 102 mm axel and the others use on that is 111mm I think

The reason I am asking this question is basically the BB is stuck in the frame, courtesy of my local
bikehsop that used 'Loctite' and therefore can now not be removed

Tony, The spider may not hit the frame, but the chainrings will. You really need a 111mm BB for
Centuer and below. Try the non-drive side cup again. Once that cup is out, the other side will as
well. Use a fresh tool and use a crank bolt with a washer to hold the tool into the splines. Make
sure to loosen the crank bolt once the tool starts to move. Remember, use leaverage... Hope this
helps, Garry

BTW: If you need a 111mm BB, I have some Campy ones at a good price.

Locktite will break down when you heat it with a hair dryer.

No sir-the Chorus and Record, starting in 1995, are 102mm spindle length and the others you mention
are 111mm..

Been there, done that (several times).

Use a long enough threaded bolt (a QR will do but I recommend something that absolutley won't slip),
locked down the splined removal tool onto the fixed cup. Use a longish cresent (know which way the
jaws should be right? There is the stationary jaw and an adjustable jaw.) or a box wrench, something
in the order of ~14", use a > 16oz hammer and tap sharply at the end of wrench to loosen. I assume
your stuck BB is ITL so it must be loosen counter-clockwise! It will work. If you are a pro or a
perfectionist, buy a TACX tool ($20 at Excel) that does the same thing.
