Rich,

If you are looking for replacement cups to work with your bottom bracket spindle, you will also need a spindle for an Italian threaded BB. If I remember (check the archives), Campagnolo BB spindles have similar dimensions to Suntour BB spindles, but depending upon the Campy model, may not be any less expensive than a Suntour.

I'm trying to get my 'Colnago WannaBe' up and running, and have a nice Superbe crank I'm ready to install. Only thing is the CUPS were wrong sizing. I need 36x24T.

When I tried a Shimano set, the adjustment was such that there weren't enough threads to securuly mount the lock ring. (maybe this is the issue of 'thin vs thick' cups I see mentioned ??)

I'm kind of eager to get rolling - and NOT eager on bidding on another spensive Superbe full BB solution.

Any thoughts as to where I should look for just the cups ???

thanks
