I've just got a Mirage UT compact chainset that I want to use on a fixie but can anyone link me to which cups to use (ideally to the cheapest supplier)

Use the standard cups. I believe the black Super Record ones are designed for use with the Super Record chainset (or so the market spiel say).

You'll need a Campag UT/Shimano Hollowtech 2 BB tool as well BTW.

Thanks Pifco. The cups are only about £15 or so but do I need to get the bearings too or does "cups" include everything I need to get up and running?

The bearings are pressed onto the cranks themselves. You can replace them if needed, but I'd advise taking them to someone with the specific tool to do so.

Read the instructions, you need that little spring thing and wavy washer so that nothing is loose once installed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
