Matthew, It appears settled that the Campi BB won't work with the Stronglight crank, so the question becomes one of which BB to use. Stronglight, TA, and JIS in 122 to 125mm axle length have been suggested. EDCO might also be a good choice. At the risk of stating the obvious, make sure of your frame's threading before plunking down money on a bottom bracket. Velo-Orange sells their house brand bottom bracket in English and French threading, lengths up to 122mm.

Bear with me, gang. Having never set up a bike for a tour, I'm afraid I

have some silly, basic questions. For starters: I recently came into a Stronglight Mod. 99 triple crankset with "drillium" chainrings... I also have in my possession a Campy Record triple BB set-up. Can anybody offer any info as to whether or not these two might be compatible? Will a Campy front derailleur potentially work with this set up as well? And now I'll show my real 'noob' colors...: Is it common practice to use a triple AND a 'Rally' rear derailleur? Or

is the Rally more commonly used in tandem with a double and a gear cluster that is broad enough to accomplish a decent gear range? Muchas Gracias, Matthew Bowne Brooklyn, New York
