Hello fellow Mavic worrier :)
I feared as much with regard to the 'Mavic facing tool'.
No need for pics I don't think at this stage, but let me know how you get on with the fit of the Mirage BB. Is that 115mm axle? 115mm seems to be the closest off the shelf current Campag option, but I don't know if 1mm extra axle length will run OK with Mavic's recommended 114? Obviously want to avoid cracking the crank. Oops my mistake the Italian threaded BB shell I need is 70mm not 68mm as I originally said. I guess that means 68 axle I have is going to be the wrong size to build up into a BB for my Italian threaded bike, bugger.
If I find out any other options I'll let you know, these cranks are too nice to be sat on the shelf. I bought them with the classic 'how hard can it be...' running through my brain, that will teach me!
