Does anyone know a source for cups for a Centaur Square Taper BB? I have an Italian BB and need cups for an English BB. The BB is a cartridge type. The usual online sources do not sell the cups separately. This is what the BB looks like:

Just a thought ok?? try to find a record or a veloce BB with your frames and see if those fit. Seen those cups for sale in stores but long time ago.

There's a new iteration of those BBs and would not surprise me that there's no parts for them.

Is that the 111 in length?

It is 111mm and the record and chorus cups do not fit. :(

You might post a WTT, your BB for an English threaded. These are nice!

I don’t think they sold the cups separately, but the entire BB unit is still available from a number of online stockists. So if you get a brand new one, you can always keep your current one and swap it out in a decade when you wear out the bearings in the new one...

I can trade English for Italian if you pay the postage. I already have one Italian Centaur sitting here, and several of the AC-H type with Italian threads.

They did but remember, that BB went away in 2007/8..12-13 years ago. For the OP, check a LBS to see if they have boxes of toasted stuff, where you can ‘harvest ‘ some cups.

BTW, those slightly domed cups, pretty sure Record/Chorus TRIPLE cups would also work.
