Shimano>Campy--does BB need replacement too?
I currently have a 2018 De Rosa SK Pininfarina with Dura Ace 9150 drivetrain. I plan on moving the drivetrain to my new Madone and replacing it with Campy Super Record 12-speed. Right now my DA 9100 crank is running through a Kogel ceramic 386 Evo BB. I was told the BB will work just fine with the new Campy crank. Couple of other retailers said otherwise. Heres my bike.

Campagnolo puts the crankset bearings pressed onto the crank-spindle, unlike basically all other crankset systems where the bearings are pressed in the BB cups.
Yes, you need a new BB.

The cups are relatively inexpensive too, unlike just about everything else Campy. I have a 10sp UT crank waiting to be installed on a BSA frame.

Some folks might be inclined to think, so? I'll give it a shot anyway. The main problem with that: Shimano has a 24mm spindle, Campy is 25.
