What, if any were the perceived benefits of Italian BB cups?

I see that the bottom bracket shell of an Italian threaded bike is larger than normal but that it holds no more balls than a regular bottom bracket. Unscrewing of the fixed cup is possibe whilst in use. So, just what advantages/benefits were there that caused designers to use this sort of thing? Cheers Is it the Italian bottom bracket that is threaded in one operation? The threads are cut through the bb in one step? Ah, resembles the good old days when things were often proprietary to one manufacturer and parts from one could not be used with another. Or has that changed yet? Cheers Cheers |

In theory you could do that but I don't know of anyone who does. Threads are normally cut from both sides simultaneously regardless of thread format. After that, threaded guides are installed and the faces cut parallel so everything references from the spindle axis. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
