They work just as well in Italian spec shells as in BSC. There's no contact with the threads.

> Regarding the Mavic Bottom Brackets that fit into a chamfered BB shell,
are there different versions for Italian and British threaded BB's? I
understood that the reason for the chamfering is to allow the BB to be
located by the adjusting rings bearing against the outside rims of the BB
shell, without touching the BB threads.

now but it's listed as "italian" threaded. Of course the bike I need it for
is English.
