Campy BB cup interchangeability

Mark Janeba said:

OK, here's a longshot:
I use a discontinued Campy Athena cartridge BB, the kind with two
flangeless cups that allows moderate adjustments to the chainline.
I'm thinking about switching my (old, gouged, 170) Racing-T crank to a
Chorus or Record triple (new, 175, different ring sizes).
I KNOW that the Athena BB spindle won't work with the Chorus/Record
triple, but:
Will the Athena cups work on a Chorus or Record BB? I don't even know
if the Record cups come off the cartridge, much less have the same I.D.
as Athena.
(Thinking about some Ebay used Record BB's w/English thread, I need
Italian thread)

No. because the Athena BB has the same bearings right and
left. Record BB has two smaller right side bearings and the
same bearing as yours on the left.

No, The cups come off of the Record and Chorus BB but the right side bearings
are two and smaller than the ID of the cup.
