I remember a past thread about a Shimano bottom bracket being used but I am needing advice on a Campy setup. The frame has Italian threading (1998?)/ I am using a 2006 Record bottom bracket (102mm square taper) and a 2006 Record carbon crankset. If I shim the right side out, will there be enough spindle left on the left side to clear? What is the maximum you can shim the bottom bracket? Thanks in advance.

If the crankset is on the bike now,you can use a 2mm allen to see if it clears between the left crankarm and the chain stay.If so,shim away.If not,and you need the right crank moved to the right,you must get a longer spindle.If you cannot find a Campy to suit,you can get a Phil Wood in any imaginable length.Note that the taper needs to be ISO,not the Japanese JIS. dan -------------------- no signature Post Extras: cinelli contributor Reged: 01/17/04 Posts: 107 Re: Another bottom bracket question....

It looks like a Phil Wood bottom bracket is the only solution. Post Extras: Pages: 1
