Campagnolo Spindle Length Query

  • I have a set of Chorus cranks identical to those in the following image (right):

    Does anyone know what length of BB spindle these need?

    Cheers.

  • You haven't given enough information.

    What hub, what sprocket, what's the spacing on the rear of your frame?

  • If it's for geared riding you need a 111mm spindle.

  • If it's for geared riding you need a 111mm spindle.

    I thinks it's 102mm for Chorus and Record, 111mm for Centaur, Veloce etc.

  • You haven't given enough information.

    OK rear spacing is 126 (130mm)

    Hubs are old Record (screw on)

    Block is 5 speed campy

    Rear mech is chorus

  • Ok, see post #3.

    Nice cranks BTW :0)

  • If it's for geared riding you need a 111mm spindle.

    Yeah 111mm, those cranks are 90's vintage. i'm sure all campag stuff was 111m but varied in quality and price accordingly.

  • I love it when someone asks a question, gets the answer, then can't be fucked to say "thanks".

  • thanks, i found it useful.

    Annoyingly the spindle length of the campag bb I have is too short to fit any of my cranks, fuckin annoying because now money has to be spent; either new bb or new cranks right?

  • origin 8 makes a campy bb that wont break the bank........try them, it can be ordered through any bike shop that has a QBP account

  • contact campyoldy, you may be able to get just the spindle

  • Badpoppers, is it a sealed Campagnolo BB? If it's not, just get another Campag spindle as rive gauche suggests.
    Or, if an extra 4.5 mm or so would make the difference you need, then you can use a cheaper Japanese (JIS) complete BB or spindle instead, as the ISO crank taper (used by Campagnolo) will sit 4.5 mm further out on it. Nothing wrong with that.
    See the late great Sheldon Brown for all the info: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbtaper.html
