Wanted: French BB or Threadless BB

Ah JIS no good, I need square taper. Shame. Thanks anyway Hutch.

Err, that IS square taper?

Hmmm... Wicksie, seems like this is still unresolved yet?

Is your axle pitted? If not, just grab the above off RDC and replace the axle with your previous one.

I took the telephone number of the chap with LOADS of Campy BB cups but suprisingly missing all the axles, all seems in good nick, some even look NOS. Just drop me a PM if you need them.

If it's only your axle that is pitted you can use pretty much any axle designed for use in a 68mm BB (i.e. British) and little point in buying my BB just for the axle. However if you need a complete square taper French threaded BB then it's probably just what you need!

Cheers guys, good point. Will take it apart when I can find someone strong enough to un-do the cups!

Good luck with that, it took an hour of HTFU and about 5 tools used in combination to get the drive-side cup off the one I was working on!

Ha, yeah been here before. lbs i reckcon!

If you can be bothered to drag it down to SE1/Waterloo I will have a go, you might need to leave it with me for a day though. Cheers Hutch

Cheers Hutch, that's very kind of you. My lbs is very helpful and I've got a few things to talk to him about, so I'll probably just go there.
Thanks for the offer!

I dont know if you LBS have this No.30 VAR BB tool sure to remove even the toughest stuck BB. Used it once at my LBS (Bikeshed Cardiff) and it was a dream!
