NR uses a steel spindle and steel cups.

SR uses a titanium spindle and alloy cups. The races on the cups and spindle of the SR ti bb are ground to a different radius to accept 3/16" bearings, as opposed to the 1/4" bearings used in the NR.

The spindles and cups of the SR are not interchangeable with the NR .

Can someone advise if there is a difference between a post '77 Campagnolo NR vs. SR spindle? Is it that only the cups are different and the spindles are the same or are they different too? If they're different, how do you tell them apart? Can I use a NR spindle in SR cups?

Thanks in Advance,
