selecting a BB
I'm upgrading the drivetrain of my '85 Mondonico to Campy 10 speed. I
have a very recent Record 10 speed double crank, and the frame has Italian (duhh!) threading, and I know it needs a 102 mm spindle. There aren't many BB choices, but still ... should I get Record? Chorus? Token? Phil? Light weight is significant but more important is durability, especially when higher cost seens to get lower durability, as with a Record. Is this durability concern just a smokescreen? I won't be racing the bike and I'm not hard on things. Sometimes I pedal hard enought to flex the BB but not usually. I'm certainly not a sprint monster. I'm tending toward a Chorus or a Token, mainly due to price and weight. But if there's no liability to putting in a Record I might get a low-mile used one if I believe I found one. What about Token durability? Does everything fit right relative to original Campy? Is there an extra benfit, perhaps chainline adjustment? You get my drift! Ken |
