Mongoose! Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Please know it sounds silly but is for a single speed (raod) project. Can get a Campagnolo square BB crank at a good price. Can I use my Shimano square BB with it? Just want to know if the square end of the Shimano BB will fit into the square insert of the crank Know I will commit one of the biggest sins in cycling (to mix campag with shimano) but if it will work, way not
Tankman Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hope you are not turning your Paris into a singlespeed! Cant help you there sorry, square bb's a bit before my time!

Rather find a Campy BB.

Or perhaps the 11 speed Athena carbon... All my wheels are Shimano. Can be converted to Campag, but not sure if it can be converted to accommodate 11 speed....
javadude Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 What crank is it that you can get, I might have a BB for you at a good price?

Dont listen to the "an Italian bike has to have an Italian groupset" crowd... that is just BS.Ride what YOU like and not what anyone else tells you!
