That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them and why I think they're s bit weird, I guess they're in a place where the taper is engaged enough and it just stops things going a mm or so too far. I think I've fitted cranks that reach torque specs before hitting it so it's more of a backup than anything else. Square taper is a bit shit anyway.
Can a stop on a taper work though?
Wouldn’t it sort of defeat the point of the taper?
