I noticed that the Campy cranks are still using the tapered bottom brackets. I wonder why they don't come up with their own splined interface, or use the ISIS? Is this an important consideration when selecting which group to use?
Because the whole splined thing is a worthless gimmick of planned marketing obsolescence. No human can develop enough torque to strip a PROPERLY seated, interference fit, four sided spindle. Campy knows this!Originally posted by scituatejohn

No, and the others are not without their flaws.Originally posted by scituatejohn

you can also stick a DA crank on an otherwise campy ride.Originally posted by dhk
John: You could always use a Campy group with an ISIS bottom bracket and an FSA crankset.....just like Cinelli is doing on their built bikes currently.

I ride Campy Record and switched my 8/9-speed Record crankset and BB for an FSA carbon setup with matching BB. I could feel the increased stiffness when I stomp. However, I now have to grease my splines and tighten the crank bolts every 2 weeks or so to eliminate the creaking noise - I never had to do that with the tapered BB. I wish I had sprung for the Campy carbon crankset, but the FSA was about 1/3 the cost. Live and learn.

Anyone else have the problem with creaking noises? Clive @ glorycycles.com is helping me build up a new bike, and we're debating the upgrade to FSA Pro Team crankset and bottom bracket. Everything I've read about the FSA carbon crankset has been very positive, even if it is overkill.
