The length of BB spindle needed changes at some point in the production of NR cranks, late 70's I think - the earlier one is allegedly 114.5mm (though i've had problems making it work tbh). I've been meaning to fit an ofmega 118mm to replace the one I have, the inner ring seems dangerously close to the chainstay so I've never put the fixed cup all the way in, which is far from correct.actuallly I seem to have got this all the wrong way round anyway... seems like I'm using the older spindle on post 77 cranks or something.I've had lots of people tell me to get a Veloce triple BB for my mid 70's NR, but I shelled out (albeit not a lot) and it was total bollocks, nowhere near long enough. Which makes me think it was actually the Veloce double, missold, I never measured it some to think of it.
