Mavic (now Stronglight production): http://www.bikepro.com/products/bott...ts/mavic.shtml I've been using one for years on an old team bike that was set up for Mavic. Can't say I've put tons and tons of miles on it but it has at least one honest road season on it and has needed adjustment once. --D-y |

For a Super Record 11 carbon crank, no. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

What I use are Phil rings in Swiss combined with an Eglish Shimano UN-72 from which the OEM rings have been removed. Works well for French threaded BB using Phil French rings too. Sadly, UN-72 are hard (yet not impossible) to find these days. I assume that some other cartridge BB similar in form will work as well. But I do not think there are any other Shimano ones where you could remove the cups and replace them with Phil. |

Have a framebuilder chop that sucker out of there and braze in an American shell. Probably wouldn't cost more than a confounded Phil BB that you have to glue into your frame. Chalo |

Probably wouldn't cost more than a Non-responsive, but thanks for letting your fear of things you don't like show once again. It's been at least a week since you've suggested something equally stupid. -- Truth is in your water heater. |

Yeah, some people do not like it, when an amateur rider obtains professional cyclist speeds due to racing a bicycle whose technology was not frozen at April 1, 1934 [1] levels. [1] The date UCI regulations were implemented banning anything other than standard geometry uprights from racing. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731°N, 83.985007°W I am a vehicular cyclist. |
