I think they're ISO taper, at least the bottom bracket seems to be? The miche bottom bracket seems like a logical choice, and you can get it for 11.50 (+£3 postage..) from totalcycling.com
I was going to buy one myself to use with my campy chainset, but I'd need to buy 2 different bottom bracket tools just to take one apart and install the other!! I don't suppose anyone in London has a shimano type bottom bracket tool and something that'll fit the miche as well? :P and hey why not a crank puller while your at it :|
I wish they'd learn from the bmx world, all I need to take my bike apart is 2 allen keys and a hammer!

i agree, the variety of tools you need to work on the bottom bracket and crankset is really annoying. imagine if you have to update your cotterless cranks + b.b. from old skool to nu skool:
1 pedal wrench
1 crank puller
1 allen key/screwdriver for dust caps
3 types for crank bolts - 8mm allen/14mm/15mm box wrench
4 for cup & cone b.b. - lockring tool (not taking into account of the number of notches!)/pin wrench/adjustable wrench/fixed cup tooleither:
1 campag bb tool
1 shimano bb tool1 wrench lever for both of these tools/crank puller
totally WTF man
and we haven't even mentioned the chainline yet!

I use a campag BB with my Miche cranks at the moment, not as fiddly to fit as the Miche one.

edmundane are the miche BB's really fiddly to fit? anyone got first hand experience?
I actually took mine to the LBS soimply because I didn't have the tool for it, you need two early Campag BB tools as the cups tighten up against each other without lockrings, thats what gives a bit of flexibility on the chainline adjustment.

hmm looks like i'll have to ask around if i can borrow such tools then. thanks fixedwheelnut!
i'm sure quite a lot of yous out there have miche primato cranks + hubs.
got a pair of the cranks today, am wondering if anyone of you can tell me what size spindle b.b. to get?
and of course, where can i get them for cheap?
chainring as well, would like a 49t 1/8th.
roberto suggested that i try dotbike they only do stronglight and TA just wondering if anyone can supply me with more choices?
