Bottom Bracket information required

Postby BarrieWho? » Fri Jul 09, 2004 4:21 pm

Does anyone know if the taper on a Shimano bottom bracket axle is significantly different to that of a Campagnolo? (I want to stick a Veloce chainset on a un72 bb).
Regards
Barrie

I think the taper is the same angle, but starts from a slightly different size square. So it should go on OK but the chainline might be a bit different, so might need a bit of tweaking of the front mech to make it work.
