Power-Torque & Ultra-Torque
Hi All,
I've got a question that I hope someone will be able to answer, my commuter bike has campag mirage gearing on it, but I need to replace the crank, which is currently an ultra-torque crank and BB cups.
Can I use the ultra-torque BB cups with a Power-torque crank, or do I need to replace the whole thing?
Cheers

Not sure about your post, but the answer is you CANNOT mix and match ultra and power torque. They are different systems and incompatibleleft the forum March 20230

Bugger! I was afraid someone was going to say that!.
Looking at the cups online, they're look almost identical, but never mind0 -
If you use Look Keo's I have an ultra-torque chainset in the Classifieds for sale.

Thanks, its the right length and has got keo's on them, but I'm in need of a compact drive, not standard0

Get the standard chain set. Compact are just an invention to get fat and unfit people into cyclingleft the forum March 20230

Thanks for the reminder! :oops:0 -
What's wrong with your current chainset?0

Honestly, gears are a state of mind... today I forced myself to go up a slope at 9-10% with a 5Kg pannier on 53x21 and I did... at the top my legs were a bit stiff, but I could have kept going... you don't need that silly 34 ring.left the forum March 20230

The only U/T compacts you will find now are 11s. I got one of the last (Veloce) at Geoffrey Butler but I think they must all be gone now. E-bay has not had one that I have seen for at least a year. Good luck.Coach H. (Dont ask me for training advice - 'It's not about the bike')0 -

It just needs new chain rings, however its a 175mm crank length, my frame is 54cm, and I'm 5'9" so according to the inside leg calculation the cranks are too long, so I'm switching to 170mm0 -
ugo.santalucia - i'm also looking to change to a compact because it's too dangerous to ride on main roads - have no option now but to use the backroads. i'm neither fat nor unfit - you should try throwing your 53X21 at some of the hills in west/north yorkshire0

I have the same opinion about tha campacts as go. If yo need hill climbing gears then use a triple. With a compact I was always chaining chainrings with a racing double I am not.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0
