Subject: [CR] Thank You: Campy BB cups and other Questions


Thanks to all who responded to my Question(s). It really helps to tap into the pool of knowledge. I am also happy to see that others have seen the possibility of marriage between new school BB's and old school crank arms.

Original message:

I have reviewed the Campy timeline and am still looking for some insight on when the thicker walled, crud reversal rifling BB cups where introduced. And were these also used on Pista BB sets?

Last question, sort of OT, but not. Has anyone tried to use a newer Campy cartridge BB (early mid 90's) with a on topic Pista crank arms? As I line things up it looks like the spindle length might work (using a road cartridge BB for a Pista application) but I haven't tried it on a frame and haven't tested the flat angles.

Thanks,
