Bottom Bracket Compatibility - length and tapers

All cranks must be matched with a specific length bottom bracket spindle. Triple cranks or frames with oversize seat tubes require slightly longer bottom bracket spindles.
Shimano and almost every major bottom bracket maker have traditionally used the same spindle end cross section of 12.9 mm and two degree taper. Campagnolo uses the same two degree taper but has a smaller starting cross section of 12.7 mm.
A Shimano crank arm will bottom out on Campagnolo spindle. A Campagnolo crank arm will not draw far enough onto a Shimano spindle.
Phil Wood now produces both Campagnolo and Shimano taper bottom brackets in a wide variety of lengths. Phil bottom brackets are exceptionally well made and usually last for 30,000 miles without maintenance.

Campagnolo Record Track Cartridge Bottom Bracket:
  • Three, sealed cartridge style, bearings; two on the chainring side and one on the non-drive side.
  • Campagnolo's lightest bottom bracket; weighs just 190 grams.
  • 17 mm, hollow cro-moly steel 111 mm spindle fits Record track cranks and pre-1995 Record and Chorus 7 and 8 speed road cranks.
  • This bottom bracket cartridge is identical to the 102 Record road bottom bracket cartridge except for the length of the bottom bracket spindle. The cartridge bearings are sealed and the cups employ a rubber O ring, just like the 102 mm version. The only difference between the 102 mm Record bb and the 111 mm track Record bb is that the alloy cups on the 111 mm version lack the thin, plastic dust seals used on the 102 mm bb.
  • The Campagnolo 111 mm Record bottom bracket will not work with older, Campagnolo, Nuovo and Super Record cranks. They require a 115 mm spindle with 5 mm of offset on the chain ring side. We suggest using a Phil Wood bottom bracket for Nuovo and Super Record applications.
  • Spindle mid-section is oversized to increase stiffness and reduce weight.
  • Unique taper is not interchangeable with Shimano.
  • Removable cups are machined from 7000 series aluminum alloy and are easily replaceable.
  • Comes with British (1.37 inches x 24 threads per inch) or larger diameter Italian cups (36 mm x 24 threads per inch). Spindles are identical and always 102 mm long.
  • Cups are lightly coated with thread lock and should be installled in a dry, clean bottom bracket shell. Do NOT grease or lubricate the threads.
  • We suggest using a Park Torque Wrench, for the most accurate installation. Campagnolo recommends tightening the cups to 70 Newton Meters (N.m) or 51.66 foot pounds.
  • Easily installs with a Campy or Park bottom bracket tool which also fits all Campy cassette lockrings. Any 1 inch ( 25.4mm ) socket will fit over the Park BBT-5 tool and allow you to use a torque wrench. Tools are listed below.
  • A carbon fiber cover further reduces weight and adds a touch of elegance to this beautifully crafted bottom bracket.
  • Made in Italy by Campagnolo and backed with a three year warranty.
  • Warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Camapgnolo USA in Carlsbad, California USA. Call Campagnolo USA at (760) 931-0106, email them at Info@CampagnoloUSA.com or visit them at Campagnolo.com by clicking on the underlined text .

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
