I have a NOS Olmo road frame and some second hand Campag parts. I measured the BB barrel and it is 69.5mm. The Campag BB is definitely 36x24 (Italian). The only problem is it wont fit - on both sides only about 1/4 or 1/2 turn then stops. I inspected the threads and could see no obvious problem apart a few specks of dust and metal filings
I dont want to force it so I need some help finding a LBS in Sydney north or Newcastle NSW who has expertise and maybe a thread cutter to free up the thread. Any help would be appreciated as I am anxious to get this project together.
Thanks, Ant[/i]
