I have 3 different editions of Sutherland's. The 5th edition calls Zeus 119 BCD, the 3rd and 6th editions say 120 BCD. Either way, it's slightly bigger than the 118 BCD SR (Sakae) and slightly smaller than the 122 BCD Stronglight model 93. This is for the Criterium and more recent models. The older Zeus Competition had the small five pin arrangement compatible with TA Cyclotourist and Stronglight 49, with an inner circle that was the old pre-NR Campy Record 151 BCD, not the more recent Zeus 120 (or 119).
Regards,
Jerry Moos
