AndreZA Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Does Cannondale, specifically the CAAD4s, have English or Italian BB thread? I can't get into the 'dale website for some reason. Thanks. Mampara2007-02-13 02:18:22

City Cycling Athletic Club Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 a bike built in Italy will have an Italian thread - all other make would have an english thread. (thats the way i understand it)
Cruxpearl Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 a bike built in Italy will have an Italian thread - all other make would have an english thread. (thats the way i understand it) Why does Bianchi then have British BB's?Aren't they built in Italy?
TNT1 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Aren't they built in Italy? Or Turkey according to some hubbers a bike built in Italy will have an Italianthread - all other make would have an english thread. (thats the way iunderstand it) Wouldn't the world be wonderful if things worked so simply? THis is bike frames dude... built to confuse. Check with Sheldonbrown.com, I'm sure it's all explained there. It probably has very little to do with country of originTNT12007-02-13 06:43:48
GoLefty!! Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Italian thread BB were the metric threads. English was the old measuring system that few of us know about (the one where they talk about inch and pounds etc..) Italian bikes using Italian tubesets used an Italian threaded BB. Some English, or french bikes also used the Italian tubesets but with an English BB from Reynolds or one of the other English Investment casting houses. These days, most bikes use english BB's cos they're bigger and longer.
AndreZA Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Yip, what about the Raleighs that's made in Taiwan with Italian tubing?
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Cruxpearl, i think one must watch out for the handcrafted bikes from italy, bianchi is probally mass produced somewhere in the world
GoLefty!! Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Yip' date=' what about the Raleighs that's made in Taiwan with Italian tubing? [/quote'] This is the new global economy buddy. We have email and we all speak english these days..... See what I did there...? The Only BB std's in wide spread use is the English thread. I think it may have something do to with the War.. Scott and Shimano have a threadless system and Cannondale has their Si BB. Italian may still be found on Fondriest Bikes and perhaps some Pegoretti.. but the truth is that the larger diameter English BB makes for more weld area and therefore a stronger join
