Phil Wood BB size advice

Posted on
  • I am working on a new build but struggling with the chainline.

    Sugino 75 cranks and ring
    Goldtech track hubs 120 mm - they have told me the hubs give a 42.5mm chainline

    What size Phil Wood BB do I need?

    At present I have been told 108, 115.5, 110.5 so am rather confused.

    I want to make the most of the low dollar exchange rate right now.

  • From the transmission database

    Sugino 75 + Campag Centaur 111mm + goldtec + eai = dogsballs
    Sugino 75 + Campag Centaur 111mm + Goldtec + EAI= 31t®um

    Phil cups are adjustable so 0.5mm wouldn't make a diff and are ISO taper same as Campag.

    Dunno if EAI cogs are also a factor but they are 'fatter' than most according to Sheldon. Only Dura Ace are really thicker but we are talking fractions of a MM

  • james, i use a phil 110.5 with sug75s, all spot on..

  • I have just checked the phil wood website, it appears they dont do a 110.5 BB, but there is a 111 JIS.

    I assume this should work, but my brain hurts trying to work this stuff out.

  • ?

    ISO 110.5mm suitable for Campagnolo Veloce, Centaur and Daytona 2000 to 2006 and Campagnolo Record Pista

    Also suitable for Sug 75 as they are iso

    You can get one here

  • How many times are you going to ask this question James?

    Buy a symmetrical 110.5 "Campagnolo taper" Phil BB.

  • hangs head in shame

  • If you still don't believe me you can come and measure the chainline on my affinity. Then measure my BB spindle or if you're really lucky I'll even remove the BB from the frame and show you the writing on it.

    with that level of vehemence I can only trust you!

    two different shops had given me different advice, so asking on here was just to get confirmation.

    I wil be ordering as per your instructions.

    thanks for the help.

  • all the advice you could need from people who are actually running that stuff as opposed to selling it is in the transmission data base.
    as mr. adouble t said.

  • murtle

    i was already thinking along those lines

    so Phil Wood Titanium Campagnolo Bottom Bracket - 68 x 110.5 is now on order

    so hopefully no more stupid questions from me

  • Nice work James.

  • this is basically the same dilemma i was having, so glad you all worked it out for me! =)

  • Ha, you're wlecome. At least you didn't PM me a million times like James.

  • gotta say this BB is fucking worth it . . . smooth as a mother fucker ! ! !
