Campy/Miche BB compatibility?
 
I just bought a new track frame, and a Miche bottom bracket is included. Does anyone know if campy crank taper is compatible with the Miche? Thanks.

probably not as Campy can be fairly finicky if I remember correctly. For less problems, use a Miche to Miche pairing, or the same for Campy.

Hmm, thats no good. I know that Miche started as a Campy knockoff so i guess theres some hope. Thanks.

others will pitch in here, and possibly tell me I am wrong. keep hope!

You're wrong.

I've been running my Miche Pr1mato crankset on a Campagnolo BB for about eight months with absolutely no problems. Well, except for the fact that the BB is a 111 when I really would like a 107 or so. I mean the cranks fit the tapers quite well. I backed out the crankbolts after torquing them down and the end of the spindle taper was a mm or two below the shoulder of the crank hole, just where I'd like it to be. No strange creaks or clicks. The Miche tapers are ISO, which is quite close to the Campy taper.

I also run Miche Primato cranks with old Campy BB, no probs.

i run a set of records on a sugino 75 bb, but for a year i had a miche bb, and just recently changed it. the bearings were f***ed. but its a nice bb i just overtightened it..
just check the inside surface of the arms for cracks on a regular basis and youŽll be fine..
am i wrong?

Campy tapers are ISO, as far as I know.
I would think they'd go together just fine.
