Miche Primato track crank & BB

[Will]

Hi:

I am looking to replace the cheap bottom bracket on my Miche Primato track
crank. Anyone know of a quality substitute with the same square taper (110
mm length)?

Thanks,
Will

For starters, be aware that Miche's website indicates that the current
version of their track crank will normally be partnered with a 107 mm
spindle with ISO tapers. There may be others, but Specialites T.A.
offers a crankbearing with those spec's.

My LBS which handles alot of track racers and messengers, installed a
Campy Chorus square taper BB with my Miche cranks. He suggested this
over the Miche BB I got with the group, and gave me a good deal on
swapping the BBs (and the seatpost too).

John:

The information on the screen you saw is incorrect. I have the BB and it is
marked 110 and my chainline is correct. In addition, if you click on "Crank
Set Form" the crankset diagrams indicate the spindle length to be 110 mm.

Craig:

The Campy Chorus BB is listed as having a 102 mm spindle. You need 110 mm.

The table to which you refer shows that the resulting chainline when
used with a 110 mm spindle to be 43.5 mm - somewhat wide by common
track standards. By extension, if you used the 107 mm option, the
chainline would be 42 mm, rather more in keeping with the numbers
archived here:

or
http://www.businesscycles.com/tr-refspec.htm#chainline

Nonetheless, if your particular application benefits from having a
43.5 mm chainline, Phil Wood offers a crankbearing model called the
BRS-10 (110.5 spindle, ISO tapers). It should provide the "upgrade"
your original post sought while keeping the chainline essentially as
you have now.

Stronglight JP400 with alloy cups? Roughly mid-range Campag quality,
and not too pricey. Tread carefully when buying, though - because the
JP400 is made to suit a multitude of cranks, some lengths are made in
both JIS and ISO taper, so make sure you choose the right one!
