single-speed crankset for an Italian thread?
I'm working on my first single speed build and need some advice. The old Marinoni frame I bought for this project is Italian-threaded, and I'm struggling to figure out which parts to buy for the crankset - so far, I'm considering:
S300 1.1 or Omnium cranks with GXP Blackbox BB? ISO cranks to go with a 70mm Campy BB? Has anyone built up a single-speed crankset on an Italian threaded frame; what parts did you use? Thanks |

Are you sure that Marinoni is Italian threaded? Mine was English.
The bottom bracket threading should have no impact on crankset choice unless it calls for a very odd spindle length that can't be found in Italian threaded BB's. |
Shimano have Italian threaded bbs as well.
|
I didn't mention Shimano because of the complications of matching a suitable set of track cranks to a square taper BB (too many options and chain-line issues to be bothered) & the fact that Shimano does not make a external BB track crank ... yet.
|
I only mentioned so because it opens up more crankset options.
|
Thanks for the advice - any thoughts on pairing the Shimano UN54 107mm BB with Sugino RD cranks?
|
rd's need a 103, shimano doesn't make one ital thread, sugino sells their own BB for this crankset and I am almost positive it is not available ital thread
