Default Vitus 979: Removing Cranks and Bottom Bracket?

Yes, this is what is printed on the cranks and the gear shift levers. I thought this was a.k.a. "Shimano Dura-Ace."

The classic New Dura Ace BB interchanges with Campagnolo
1046A which is a different taper section than the most
common[1] modern cartridge crank spindles and asymmetric as
well.


Are you saying that the typical modern cartridge crank will not fit my bike? Also that I need an asymetric cartridge and this will cost me more?

What does the Campagnolo 1046A have to do with this?

If it's a BB7400 I would rebuild it or have that done. Nice
product well worth keeping IMHO.


Is "7400" going to be stamped on the bottom bracket somewhere and evident when I take the BB apart?


[1]There are good cartridge replacements but not for $15



That's fine. But from what you wrote, now I cannot tell whether one even exists for my Vitus 979.
