BB question

Pulled the old Campy Record crank and BB (36 X 24T/102 mm) from my Colnago C40. Planning on installing an Easton EC90 crank that I recently purchased. What would be an appropriate outboard bearing BB that would do the job? Thanks for an advice.

Yeah, for what that crankset costs you really don't want to screw it up by using an incompatible BB.

At a certain performance/price level, I would say brand matching is your best bet.

Thanks for the advice. I found an Italian thread Easton BB for the crank on Backcountry.com. They shipped it about 1 hour after I placed the online order. I might have her up an running by New Year's!
