WHAT'S NEW
Comments - A First Look at the Wilier Zero.7
March 04, 2012
The bottom bracket design may be marvelous but does it allow for anything but a CAMPI crank power meter? SRM and Quark do not have a power meter crank that will work with the Cento Uno. Have the designers of the new zero7 made accommodations for this?

Fantastic Bike!!!!! I'm a big fan of Wilier, Currently on a 2010 Imperiale! Just back from a 3 week vacation in the same area. Let me correct one mistake, Nalini is not in Veneto region but from
Lombardia Mantova!!!!!!

Can you please enlighten us on the no-electric-tape over the bartape method? Thanks for the look into the storied Veneto region.

Situation: There are 14 competing standards. http://xkcd.com/927/

BB386 is cool, but hardly "unprecedented". Trek introduced BB90 (90mm bb shell width with the exact same sales pitch that Wilier is using) in 2008. The shell diameter isn't 46mm, but that difference allows you to use any crank that you want, you just have to buy the right bearing kit from Trek. I gotta say the Zero.7 is a great looking bike though!

That Willier Zero.7 is an absolute stunner!!! I'll wait until I see it in the flesh but that could be my new fav' bike. Would it be a sin to run it with Sram Red? Campy just doesn't do it for me.

if memory serves me... cervelo did the lager BB30 [46mm] and wider BB last year. they call it BBright. This press-fit 46mm BB is probably going to be the new standad, it makes a lot of sense. B & H is also using it

I'm with Debbie --- Forget FSA cranks. If Campy doesn't fit, I'm not buying. When will the industry agree on a real BB standard?

New ItalianZzzzz...Extra Large BBZzzzz....stiffestZzzzzz....only 876Zzzzzz.........
But it's a new shape, and look at that pretty paint and it has a really big BB and the Q-factor is so low you only need one leg to pedal and and.....

Great looking bike..except for the compact crank. What's up with that? I also don't quite understand the reason behind the curved crank arms of BB30 versus the straighter arms on the new standard. Don't you at least need some clearance for your heels?

The 386evo idea isn't the worst, but there's one major flaw in the equation: FSA cranks suck big time.

When is the Ron Jeremy bottom bracket sizing coming out? I mean come on the local bike shop gets no love as it is, now they have to stock 37 different size bearings for headsets and bottom brackets. Enough. Still, sweet ass ride. Nicer than the Pinnarello blasphemy 2.

Bottom bracket width and stiffness marketing claims remind me of this:

I was with your right up to "new bottom bracket standard" ...

Is it really a standard if every company seems to be releasing their own size/version (answer: no, not really). The idea on standards is that everyone gets together, agrees on the spec, and that's it.

Yet another new BB standard. Why not just start making the BB shell out of sewer pipe and be done with it. On a less cynical note: I have to admit that the Zero.7 and TwinFoil are aesthetically quite beautiful when considered within the context of carbon bikes. I find the Zero.7 much more visually appealing than the recently discussed Dogma2. As always, thanks for sharing.
