Campy Ultra Torque..
Hey.. Ive ridden my centaur crankset for about 2 months now and the bearings are clicking now and worn out... anyone else ride ultra torque and worn out the bearings that quick ? Should I buy the ceramic replacements or just go with a good ol '06 crankset with a bottom bracket ??

Drop that campy plastic carbon **** and go with Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. It's is the most perfect possible design.. How can anyone improve on perfection?

Are you sure it is the BB making the noise...
I have a click on my Record bike...
Felt like it was the BB but turned out to be the hub on my on my Easton Ascent wheel...

because the centaur cranks aren't carbon.

Might want to double check, thats just way too early for a bearing failure methinks...

I borrowed another Campy 10 wheel and no clicking...
Changed the hub and cassette from Campy to Shimano on my Easton wheel...No clicking...
So I am down to hub or cassette...
I need to borrow another Campy 10 cassette to further narrow it down...

I've had clicking on my Centaur Ultra Torque setup. Definitely from BB. Started after about 300 miles. Went away at around 600 miles. Bearings feel fine. I need to just pull the cups, re-grease the threads and re-torque, but this is on my commuter.

Shimano DA cranks will be carbon in 09.
P.S. Centaur cranks are aluminum.
