Man things are so complicated. BB size, spindle length, threading, taper, theres so much hassle.
I looked a website that told me BB spindle size is largely dependant on the cranks you use (my BB shell is 68mm.
So I emailed Chain Reaction to ask them (I got some FSA Vero cranks super cheap in the flood sale) and they reply to say
"It is dictated by the frame to be honest. That said most dual ring chainsets would run a 108 or 113 spindle length."
Well thats great. But is it 108 or 113? That seems like a big difference (although its only 5mm).
How can I find out?
