Triple Titanium BB??

[rusty bodie]

Does anyone know if someone makes a triple titanium bottom bracket
that would fit a Campagnolo Centaur triple chainset?

Thanks,

Craig

those Galli taper bearing BB's are superb but that one is too short according to Velobase http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx? ... &AbsPos=44
cheap and nearly the right length but fugly https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Titanium-BSA ... 1789383457

That's a Centaur MTB chainset on Velobase. The road one takes 111 or 115 (both work, 115 is necessary for fat seat tubes).

The eBay one should be fine.

Yup, according to the box of the steel BB I've got fitted just now, it needs to be a 111mm offset axle . .

As for "fugly" - :shock: aye, it's not bonnie but for that kind of money, I could live with it as I grovel up the next col!!

The 111 offset is for Record and Chorus triples; Centaur/Veloce/Mirage is symmetrical.

The later square taper BBs (black with Record/Chorus type spline drive not FAG) are much, much lighter. They are a supported spare and available from Ribble etc. They are also serviceable with industrial sealed bearings.

So, a standard Campagnolo 111mm BB would work with my Centaur cranks then??
