I've ordered a touring frame from Bob Jackson and am deciding on components to use. For a headset
I'm leaning towards the threaded Stronglight A9 which is cheap (maybe $20 or so) and has replaceable
roller bearings and race washers. For a crank, I'm thinking about Campy (other than Record) triple
which would use one of the inexpensive (less than $20) Campy BBs.
Does anybody have thoughts about the reliability, durability, serviceability of the Stronglight A9?
How about the inexpensive Campy BBs? These BBs seem to be available with steel axles and cups or
with alloy cups and a hollow axle. Is there any advantage in this application for alloy cups or a
hollow axle?
thanks for any thoughts one way or another.
