French BB don't have a different taper do they?

It's just the threading of the driveside cup that's different.

yeah its just the threading

I'm often tempted by the VO french bb, which I think would result in the cranks sitting 4-5mm further outboard, however not sure if this will damage the cranks. Also, does anyone know if this is 4-5mm on each side or total width between cranks? Cheers

im using a 107 JIS, VO BB atm but with JIS road cranks, i think it does damage the taper however im not sure how bad (as in its supposed to be fine while you use it but you then can't go back to ISO BB)
