Crank & BB advice wanted   Message List

Re: [necyclocross] Crank & BB advice wanted

Bill,

I've run Campy BBs for many years and have only recently started
to have problems with them...as they go (and they can't be
serviced like the old ones could), I replace them with Phil Wood
BBs. The Phil Woods are wonderful and will give you many thousands
of miles of service. They can also be serviced...

You can get a 105mm axle length and run that with a single (inner)
chainwheel for the right geometry. Then run a single outer
chainguard. A 42 or 45 tooth inner is about right and readily
available from Campy retailers. The chainguard can be gotten from
Cyclocross World, and the Phil Wood BBs are readily available...

Hope this helps.

Lee

Thanks. I'm running a campy 1x10 again this year with either a 42 or a 40 and a PAUL chain keeper so I'm not too concerned about shift quality. I run the...
