No. The Italian b.b. shell is larger in diameter.

Hello,

A question for the mechanics out there. Can you use an Italian threaded Campagnolo BB cups with an English threaded BB shell? I know you can use Italian freewheels on English hubs and perhaps headsets, but I was not sure about BBs.

Thanks...
