I have a frame with a french-threaded bottom bracket shell. I need a new BB as my old one's cooked. The only French BBs I'm aware of are the traditional loose-ball type, and that's fine. I managed to find some Campy Super Record cups in French thread. I have a Sugino Super Maxy double crankset, which I'm reliably told is machined to fit onto Campy spindle tapers rather than Shimano/other Japanese tapers. So far so good. The bike is a 6-speed with 126 spacing, if that matters.
Where I get lost is in how to select the correct Campy BB spindle. There is talk of French cups having thin walls and so needing a spindle with the ridges farther apart than normal.
Can someone help me out? There seem to be so many different Campy spindles out there that I am totally clueless. If someone can just tell me exactly what to look for that'd be great. Many thanks.
