I'm building up a new (old) frame and am a bit puzzled. The shell width is 70mm (typical for Italian BB's) but the diameter is 1.37 and the drive side appears to be left hand threads.
I thought it generally went:
Italian:
Shell width 70 mm
Diameter 36 mm
Drive size threading: right hand
BSC:
Shell width 68 mm
Diameter 1.37
Drive size threading: left hand
I'm confused (which is pretty much normal). Is there such a thing as a 70mm BSC bottom bracket (Shimano Octalink)?
Thanks for any replies, especially for correct ones!
