• St. Sheldon suggests that using a JIS one would leave the cranks 4.5mm outwards of where they'd be with ISO...

    Don't make me summon Tester!

    In short, the difference between ISO and JIS, is the way they're measured: ISO from end-to-end and JIS from before the start of the 1mm taper.

    In other words, 111mm ISO is the same as 109mm JIS.

  • Are you questioning the word of Saint Sheldon? You heretic!

    OK, so if you're correct, then a 109mm ISO would give the same chainline as a 107mm JIS. By my measurements above then, I'd end up with a 42mm chainline with a 107mm JIS, which would still be a tad too much. Ideally, I'd want a 107 ISO, which would translate to a 105mm JIS, which as far as I know is unobtainable, or a 103 JIS with a spacer.

    What a minefield!
