Pista, chorus, Veloce BB's? - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Elguapo · 23rd August 2008

I have my money in hand and I'm ready to spend. But between these three Campagnolo BB's, which is the best quality? I'm sporting 1970's 170mm Campagnolo Record cranks with a 45/16 if it matters at all? Ive done a bit of research but I tend to trust your beer soaked opinions over what the retailers are telling me?

NYC! Here I come!

get the one that matches the tool you already have (if you have one)the chorus/record ones have internal splines (same as miche) the cheaper ones have the external notches.

FWIW i use a chorus. been o.k for the last 7 months, bit lighter than the miche it replaced.

Why thank you MrSmith. Do you think £45 is a good price to shell out for the Chorus?

Sound advice. Personally I'd avoid the ones with the external notches as they are an absolute fucking pain in the arse to get off. The internally splined ones are much better to install and remove and have better quality bearings.
