As above, are there any chainsets(apart from campag) that are compatible with the Ultra-Torque BB?

Don't really want another Campag chainset but don't want to have to get another BB if possible.

    Nope.

    Fulcrum chainsets work but they are the same thing rebranded.

    The Cups contain no bearings anyway, You might as well change to a totally different system.

    Ta.

    Think i will then. Any advice on a decent chainset that you can order as 50/36, rather than having to buy a separate chainring too? Don't really want to be spending much more than £200.

    Out of interest; why don't you want a Campag chainset?

    Because of their wideness when it comes to the BCD on chainrings. Had actually bought a Campag Centaur 36t 110BCD chainring to replace the 34t i have. And it doesn't actually fit because of the 2mm offset on the bolt at the crank which i've subsequently found out about.

    When did that happen, for what good reason? None.

    You need a TA Nerius chainring to fit Campag Ultra Torque chainsets, TA Zephyr for square taper BBs.

    I had the same problem when i bought the Nerius for my Centaur square taper, but my LBS changed it for me. A simple solution without needing to splash out on a new chainset.

    This was an actual campagnolo chainring, not an aftermarket one, hence my confusion when it didn't appear to fit.

    Would now need to rethread the section at the crank as it got buggered when i was trying to get the bolt in. So might as well just buy anew.

    Was looking for an excuse to get shorter cranks anyway.

    IIRC Campag carbon and Campag alloy cranks use different PCD rings.
    Some use a conventional 110 and the carbon cranks tend to use the 2mm offset.It is a little strange I'll admit.

    You could also just elongate the 5th hole by 2mm
