Campy Chorus triple
I'm looking at a Square tapered Chorus triple, said to be 10 speed era. What length bb should this take, 111? And will this take a triple specific campy shifter or will the standard chorus 10 work?

Chorus (and Record) 10-speed triple cranks used a specific 111 mm asymmetric bottom bracket which is NOT the same 111 mm spindle used for Centaur and below. IIRC, 10-speed Campy Ergo front shifters were both double and triple compatible.

the <C> 'race triple' which I assume is in that Below category ,
the 115 was for oversize seat tubes , 111 for 1.125" seat tubes.

Did they also redesign the right crank arm forging dies, so as to use the same BB for double or triple
making the arm profile come in to meet the spindle?

Thanks, so if someone had mounted this on the wrong spindle would I expect to see damage?

No, the double and triple cranks required different spindle lengths. The double was 102 mm and the triple 111 mm, both asymmetric.
