Hi,

This might be a question for Jan Heine.

I have a Campag Strada double chainset for which I need to buy a bottom bracket to fit it to my bike which has 120mm rear stay spacing. My early 60's parts catalogue says that I should be looking for an axle marked 68 SS 120 however I note in the recent Bicycle Quarterly that there was an article on SKF's new range of roller bearing bottom brackets part of which is made specifically for Campagnolo but the maximum axle size quoted there is 111mm [part no 68 BSA 111] which has an ISO taper. The SKF range does also include a 121mm long JIS taper [part number 68 BSA 121] for old bikes but it does not make it clear whether this will fit an early square taper Campag or Stronglight (49D) set which I know are different.

Help Please ?
