Colnago C-50 Campy BB Cups

[VirtualElvis]

Does anyone know what cups I should be ordering for my C-50?
I have a Super Record 11 speed groupset going on it.
This Veloce Chorus Group is coming off.. this has a cartridge in it now...
I know it's Italian thread.
Do I just order Italian thread Super Torque cups?
Thanks for any help

Italian threaded Ultra Torque cups. Any among C, R, and SR will work, if memory serves the benefit of the SR is the additional (?) seal.

All the same dimentions, Super Record cups do not have the inner bearing seal.

What he said altho only SuerpRecord(w/o seals) and all the rest...best is a greenish color(3rd gen), SR are black.

Yes, 'far superior Italian threading'...and lots of grease, not antisieze(it can migrate to inside the cups-bad).
Maybe some teflon tape on the threads..grease in BB shell and in cups. Install TIGHT.

Nice frame! Should be glorious when you get the new Campy stuff!

Looks big, you must be a giant?

Can you tell me if the Ultra torque cups come with bearings?
If not, is there a source to find them.

thank you!

The cranks have the bearings built into them. The Ultra Torque cups are just hollow "receivers" for the crank's bearings.That's why they're so relatively cheap!

Also, if you don't have them already, get yourself some KMC 11R Missing Link quick links for the chain! Otherwise, you need an expensive Campy chain rivit/pin tool to connect the chain. With the quick links, you cut the chain to size, add the quick link, and you can take the chain off for cleaning or maintenance.

UT chainsets have the bearings pressed onto the spindle each side. Cups are just cups.

I have an Extreme Pwr with a Pre 2015 Ti Cult SR Groupo on it. You are in for one sick rolling weapon.

Carry on...

I appreciate the information.
Good to know the bearings come with the cups.

Thank you all,
