Best Cranks For Italian Threaded BB - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Kelvin · 5th August 2008

Okay, i've got a pina coming with a campag bb, am I right in assuming miche or campag is my only real option for cranks?

Or are phils the only italian threaded jis taper?

Haven't even started to worry about chainline yet, seemed like a great idea initially

What era is the PIN? Personally I try to keep to the era of the frame when choosing components, so if it's vintage I'd for something like these http://www.speedbicycles.ch/285/win_030.html##

nah it's a more recent alu one, so prob going to go for a more modern crank set

Campag, Mickey, and Sugino 75 (only!) are all ISO taper.

However, the track cranks from these makers require different spindle lengths.

Prob not ideal to pick a crank to match the existing BB.

Stronglight make an inexpensive JIS/Italian thread BB (JP400).

Note that spindle length specs for English and Italian BB's aren't the same.

ahh so the stronglight bb might open up a few options, seem to be a bit more mid market choice in the jis camp

so i got a secondhand miches, but no main crank bolts, do they vary between iso and jis? or just a standard thread and bolt?

thanks chaps, it's all my builds waiting on so hope it won't be a difficult bit to find
