  • **ISO **

    [INDENT] ISO square taper spindles run longer, and taper down to a smaller end than J.I.S. spindles do. Most European-made square taper cranks and bottom brackets use the ISO dimensions. ISO models include:

    • Campagnolo
    • Older Stronglight
    • Nervar
    • TA
    • Japanese N.J.S. track parts, such as Sugino 75
    • (Note: Old Ofmega/Avocet spindles were quite a bit skinnier/longer even than ISO. There are no modern bottom brackets that work with old Ofmega/Avocet cranks.)

    [/INDENT] **J.I.S. **

    J.I.S. is the Japanese Industrial Standard, and is generally used on square taper cranks made in Asia. J.I.S. spindles are shorter and blunter, they don't taper down to quite as small a square. J.I.S. models include:

    • Ritchey
    • S.R. Sakae Ringyo
    • Shimano
    • Specialized
    • Sugino (except N.J.S. track models and some older units.)
