I think it was the Token website. Afaik there is no difference in taper angle between JIS and ISO, both taper at 2 degrees relative to centreline according to Sheldon. What I meant was that Token/Tifosi ISO BB spindles have a different taper angle (not 2 degrees, I think they mentioned the angle but I cannot remember the exact number). At least that's what I remember from their website. They didn't mention anything about JIS, so I assumed that their JIS spindles had the usual taper angle and therefore seem to work fine
Edit: this is what I was referring to, see last post in this thread by a Token rep. Their ISO spindles are 1.8 degrees, their JIS spindles 2 degrees
