Campagnolo cranks - all compatible?

[swee'pea99]

I have an old frame with a Campagnolo-fit BB, and a Campagnolo RH chainset - but no LH crank (I managed to cross-thread a pedal - damn!). Will any Campagnolo crank fit the BB, or is there more than one type?

Too many variables to answer the question with certainty. You need to describe the model of your RH crank and possibly the year.

The only real variable (ignoring the length, how it looks, etc.) is whether it's an ISO square taper or an Ultra Torque crank. Any LH crank that fits your bracket will do.

Thanks for replies. Definitely square taper. I had to google to find out what Ultra Torque means, but it was new in 2006, and this BB predates that by at least a decade, so I guess any LH crank is good to go.

Not sure about the old stuff, but newer square taper chainsets did have a variable.

Record and Chorus doubles used a 102mm bottom bracket while all the others lower down had 111mm.

Any LH crank with an ISO taper (Campag, some Stronglight, Miche) will fit perfectly. A JIS taper may or may not fit properly - the standards are slightly different.

Thanks again - ebay here I come!

Only thing I'm unsure of is whether all/most old Campag cranks are alike in appearance.

Good luck swee'pea!
