Hi, im new to this forum...

I'm interested in buying a Campag Record Pista (Not because I want to show off but because I can get it for a pretty good deal) chainset w/ BB for my 2006 Felt TK2 frameset and was wondering a couple of questions about the BB.

What is the difference between Italian and English threads?
Is a Felt TK2 (2006) frameset compatible with Italian threads?
Are all bikes compatible with both threads?

Thanks for all the help

Here is a good definition of bottom bracket types (from Sheldon Brown):

Here's the product page for your bike:

The fact that they don't mention bottom bracket specs anywhere makes you believe it's almost certainly English. If it was Italian, they would mention it for sure. Lovely bike, BTW ;-)


No. The different types are not compatable, but English and Italian bottom brackets are both commonly available.


FWIW, you can get Record Pista BB's in either English or Italian flavors.

Thanks, that made it alot clearer now. Def. worth bookmarking it.

Thankyou, yeah that's what i thought, i checked there and was curious that the BB wasn't shown.


Damn it.

Yeah, but unfortunately the deal has only the Italian thread BB available ATM, Ill get the shop can to get some stock in when i get a little more cash in hand.

Thanks for all the help. Appreciate it alot.
