Is this right? I have a Campy Chorus 10-speed triple crank on one bike with the matching 111 mm square taper Chorus bottom bracket. I have 21,000 miles on it and the bb is still rock solid. However, nothing lasts forever and some day it will need to be replaced or rebuilt. New replacements are getting hard to find and a few years from now will be even harder so knowing I can replace just the bearings with over-the-counter cartridges would be nice to know.
