Q. for Muzi
Andy, I have found an adjust side old Campy bb cup sized 35.5 x 1.
Actually, the second five is smaller and raised just a touch, but it indicates ".5" . Sure enough, the darn thing is in fact a half millimeter larger dia. than a 35 x 1. It is right-thread like any adjust side. Do you have any idea what this thing is from? I've never heard of such a size. (I don't have the fixed side, so I'm not sure if it would be right or left-threaded. No spindle either.) Just curious if you have any idears. Jim |

Refer to the Campagnolo catalogues apposite to the generation of the part. You will find notations in the bottom bracket sections of catalogues n 18 and n 18 bis that "upon request the set of the cups and lockring with thread increased by 0,5 mm is supplied". Your discovery reflects that someone took them up on their offer. ------------------------------- John Dacey Business Cycles, Miami, Florida http://www.businesscycles.com Since 1983 Our catalog of track equipment: online since 1996 ------------------------------- |

Sure, there used to be "oversize" cups available for all 4 threads. We don't have any pairs left, a couple singles. Jobst recently discussed the effect of a loose cup on a BB thread. I guess the idea was that if you discovered the problem after a couple of rides, an oversized cup would be the quick cheap solution. Holdsworthy had them, never saw a listing at a US parts house. Not in any Campagnolo books I've seen either. check out: http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfr...t/CA746AOS.JPG we discussed this 29 October 2004 -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Quoting from a Campagnolo article from 1982: "SL", "Z" may be found on some old axles. They were production codes and have no significance in identification. The full article, with everything you ever wanted to know about GS/Record/NR/SR bottom brackets, is scanned and available at http://www.minortriad.com/campagbb.html Tom Ace |
