No different from the Super Record 11 version, when you purchase the Campagnolo Record 11 speed Ultra Torque bottom bracket what you're getting is two empty bottom bracket cups (read: no bearings), plus one safety spring to hold your driveside crankarm in place while you install the non-driveside arm. The Record-grade USB ceramic bottom bracket bearings themselves are actually pre-pressed onto the Record 11 crankset semi-axles.
You can install the Ultra Torque Record bottom bracket cups with Campagnolo's UT-BB120 Ultra Torque bottom bracket installation tool, or with the same Park BBT-9 tool you use to install Shimano Dura Ace BB cups. Campy specifies a 35Nm torque for installation. One other detail of note: The Record bottom bracket cups are hard anodized for corrosion-resistance. But unlike the pewter finish of the Super Record 11 bottom bracket cups, the Record cups have more of a traditional Record silver finish. Available in English (68mm) or Italian (70mm) threads.
While these BB's are stamped with "11 Speed Only" on the cups, please rest assured that Campy 10 speed and 11 speed bottom bracket cups ARE 100% interchangeable.
