Subject: [CR]On Topic Campag&Clone Cranks vs. "Modern" Bottom Brackets

Ahoy !

I am writing from a service parts need to "keep 'em flying".

I read or perhaps mis-read, an off-hand comment in a recent CR posting that there is a difference of spindle tapers for the Campag NR/SR and modern Campag bottom brackets. I thought the eternal difference was only two: either one and only one type of Campag vs. one and only one type of JIS. But, now what - there is more than one type of Campag taper ?

For On Topic cranks, specifically Campag NR/SR&Clones, what "modern" Campag spindles/bb's have the wrong taper and will ruin On Topic cranks ?

I was considering using the affordable and available ACH cartridge bb's for my NR/SR cranks.

Thanks.
