I've been doing this for 5 years. Threads are parallel. Moser who? This was a Kogswell. The only thing wrong was the bb. I didn't try another one. What do you make of Campagnolo's comments? Robin Hubert What I'm talking about is that the Centaur BB is the same innards and cups as the Record/Chorus triple BB with a 111mm symetrical spindle. NO problems with those so the Centaur isn't inherintly a problem, as you implied- So you may have had a defective one. ever think of that or too many 'ales'... Hello!? Campagnolo admitted there have been reports of a problem. Uh, never mind ..... Robin Hubert |

I assume its the Record/Chorus tool UT-BB080. Is this correct. Stan Cox Recently, I installed a Centaur bb for the first time. It was in a properly prep'd frame. With far less than the recommended torque, the thing was binding badly. With normal torque, the spindle was ridiculously hard to turn. I called Ochsner on this and was told that it was a known problem, and suggested that Campagnolo was blaming "certain frames". Poppycock. I installed an AC-H and everything was fine. Perhaps the next installation will be ok? Robin Hubert |

Poppycock. I installed an AC-H and everything was fine. It must partly depend on the frame, but I've found a Record Triple BB bound much worse than an AC-H in the same frame. I would guess it would be the same for the new Cenatur which is similar to the Chorus/Record. (I ended up threadlocking the Record). ~PB |

I recall you called it poppycock, then you say Campag reported problems with this BB.. include the links or whatever about Campagnolo's reports please. I'd like to see them if we see any problems(which we haven't)... |
