FSA Campag Compatibility

I have the ISIS, very stiff. After 14 mos had to replace bb,
bearing went bad. I think given the diameter of the ISIS
spindle, the bearings must be small and can't take the load.
While the rings say 10 speed. I have 9 speed rings that work
just fine with 10 speed, so perhaps the Octalink is a better
way to go.

I did see on their site at one time, they made a Campy 102
BB compatible, yet I've never seen it offered for sale.

Good luck

Hi All,

I'm thinking about putting FSA cranks on a bike with
Campag Record 10

speed.

I am led to believe that I must buy FSA's bottom brackets
to go with them. They quote ISIS or Octalink BBs, and the
cranks must match.

Which ones are better/more appropriate, ISIS or Octa?

Thanks

Bow

ISIS w/o doubt. Octalink, not licensed by shimano is a
vanishing breed. I think ISIS is a better design as well.
See Jobst FAQ about crank lash and octalink.

Somehow, I don't think that's correct. I'm using '04 Record with am FSA crankset, and although I opted for the FSA Ultimax Carbon BB, I don't think it was necessary.
