Looking at a Chorus BB (2006) that the seller says is 110 mm. Is it more likely 111 mm, or do they make a 110? anyone got one to sell?

if it really is Chorus, and it is a double, then it is 102mm. if it is a triple, it is 111mm asymmetric; the drive side taper is longer, and it's not interoperable with the symmetric 111mm Centaur bottom bracket.

Must be a triple BB...

If it's really a 2006 chorus bb, that would make it a 102mm axle for a double.

Before 2006, there were triple chorus cranks, with a 111mm axle,
longer on the drive side.

Phil Wood bbs work. I have been through too many cheap Campy bbs so now only PW. Being able to use the PW bbs is enough of a reason for me to stay with the square taper cranks not UT.

Had PW rebuild my Ti BB at the start of last season after 7 seasons and ~30K miles. Probably didn't need it, but cheap insurance. Cost about as much as a good used Chorus BB ($55, including the shipping both ways). I like having the PW and don't think thre is a better BB available. But, have never had a problem with a Campagnolo BB, either. Am using the new Centaur in my other bikes and think they are an excellent value.
