I have a track frame with a rear hub that gives a 42mm line. Problem is, the bb and cranks don't match - Sugino 103mm bb with JIS square tapers and FSA Vero cranks which are sitting too wide because they want an ISO taper. What's my best route to fixing this? Replacing the BB or the cranks?

Ah, this is probably in the wrong forum. Mods, feel free to move it into Mechanics and Fixing Things. Although, having done some research, I'm probably going to get the Stronglight T-2000 cranks (I have both 130 and 144 BCD chainrings in the box of parts, so can swap back and forth as wanted).

New BB is cheapest - job done.

I'm sure FSA Vero are JIS? Investigate this, if it turns out I'm wrong bigtwin is right.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
