Does anyone know if the 30 mm Campy cups will work? Also none of these cups seem to come with bearings. Back before I discovered that there aren't any Italian cups I bought a set of bearings but they are very narrow laterally.
Does anyone have any sort of fix for this problem?
Takes alot of nerve?!? Really? Seems pretty silly not to have a compatible bottom bracket in mind when shopping for a crankset. Especially when you have an oddball issue of compatibility like an Italian threaded BB which has long since been dropped as a reasonable standard... at least for use with modern components.
Why don't you just return the crank?
