Which tool for Campag new Centaur Bottom bracket.
Hi all
I need to get a new bb for my winter hack and would like to fit the new Campag Centaur bb (Not the AH one)but I cant see what tool you need to fit it. I assume its the Record/Chorus tool UT-BB080. Is this correct. Stan Cox |

According to these, the new Centaur BB requires the same extractor tool as used for Record and Chorus. See: http://www.campagnolo.com/pdf/722521...om_bracket.pdf /Robert |

You can use the same tool used to remove the cassette.

Joseph Yep, and the Park version (BBT5) goes for less than half of the Campy. I got it for about $8. AND a similar BB for Veloce for 2006..glad Campagnolo is sticking to the tried and true sqaure taper instead if answering a not asked question. |

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 |

Mosers were famous for poorly made BB threads. It is not unusual. Robin Hubert |

I prep'd the frame with Campag. tools, all around, threads, everything. 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 |

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'... |
