Review on ๐Ÿšฒ CAMPAGNOLO ENG Record Bottom Bracket Set for Bicycles by Justin Abreu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

USED โ€‹โ€‹TO REPLACE 2000 RECORD CRANKS.

. Featuring 2007 Planet Cyclery (and Revain) 10-speed ULTRA TORQUE cranks for $119. Not a bad deal if someone doesn't mind going with just 10 teeth in the rear. An unexpected advantage over the old square end crankset is the Q factor (pedal width) increased by about 6-8mm which made my 20 year old Litespeed Ti bike much more comfortable. I've always wondered why this bike is less comfortable than my tandem with the exact same geometry, well that's a quality factor I haven't measured. I always thought the best racing design was the one with the tightest pedal spacing, damn I was wrong, it's so comfortable now to expose the power longer.

Pros
  • Bearing cups for Campagnolo Ultra-Torque cranks
Cons
  • -
