SKF Roller Bearing Bottom Brackets for various cranks

These new super-sealed, super-durable cartridge bottom brackets from SKF are made in Germany. They utilize a strong roller-bearing on the drive side, a stainless steel spindle, bearings, and shell, aluminum cups, and a larger-than-typical ball-bearing on the non-drive side, with multiple seals all 'round. British, and (in limited sizes) Italian, and French threads. Installs with a standard lockring tool. Life expectancy is 10 years or 62,000 miles. As close to an 'install once and forget it' BB as has ever been made, we believe. Ausgezeichnet!

Phil Wood Alloy & stainless steel - The best back then, and still the best!

NOS Campagnolo NR & SR BBs are getting very hard to find. Because Phil Wood was an option in the '70s, and are very well made, we heartily recommend the use of a Phil Wood BB as the last BB you may ever purchase for your bicycle. For 1977-1987 Campy NR/SR doubles we provide the 116mm asymmetric spindle and For 1958-1977 Campy NR/SR doubles we provide the 113mm asymmetric spindle. Note that 1977 cranks can be either type. You will need to look at the raised "bump" around the spindle hole on the back of the drive-side arm of a '77 crank to determine the arm type. Big bump = early spindle, small bump = late spindle. Phil prices below include the cupset & instructions, but no crank arm bolts. Sugino 15mm bolts & washers are available for 9.00/set, NOS Campagnolo 14mm bolts and washers for 15.00/set.

We also have the 119 mm asymmetrical Phil BB that fits the late Campy NR/SR triples for the same prices (for early triples you can often use the 116), as well as the 111 mm symmetrical ones for vintage Campy Pista (track) single cranks (at the same prices). We also have the small Phil BB installation tools (TO-PWBB, 14.00 each, and two work the best for installing the BB). Note: the cups included in the Phil Wood BBs mentioned above are stainless steel. Aluminum cups are available in BSC or Italian for an additional 10.00 per BB. Cups are also available separately, in BSC, Italian, French, Swiss, Raleigh 26tpi, and Chater Lea threading.

Reference Table !! NOT Representative of Items in Stock !! See catalog above for ordering.
Find your Crankset type and Threading/Shell Width. Remember that thick (rifled) cups provide more dirt and moisture repelling capabilities than thin ones. Also, G.S. spindles, while excellent, are not as spiffy as top-end ones. Triples always used the thin cups.
Crankset Type Cranks listed in a given box use same length bb	Threading and Shell Width	Spindle Length and Type	Cup Type

For Italian double 'ring BB spindles, add 1 mm to BSC/French lengths. Record ("NR") and SR all use the same arms at any given time in history. An SR crankset only has different chainrings than Record. Otherwise, they are identical. BBs are not!! There are four types: GS, Record, Nuovo Record, and Super Record (Ti spindle, Alu cups). Only the double NR and SR cranksets used the rifled (thick-wall) cups. All singles and triples used Record (thin-wall) cups. Pre-1978 triples used 117/118 mm spindles, which are no longer available. A Phil 116 can sometimes work for those setups. Use of pre-78 cranks on post-77 spindles will result in cranks sitting 1.0 (LH) and 1.5 (RH) millimeters too far outboard. If crank arm tapers are well used, this may actually not be bad. Use of pre-78 spindles on post-77 cranks will usually result in the inner chainring or right crank arm hitting the right chainstay - not acceptable at all! From 1958 - 1972 Record crank arms were not dated on their backs From 1973 - 1979 the year of crank manufacture is the last digit in a diamond From 1980 - 1984 the year of crank manufacture is the last digit in a circle "11" in a rectangle means 1985, "2x" means 1986, and "3x" means 1987. The second digit supposedly represents the quarter of the year during which the arm was made.
