Nice one.
That clamp looks pretty handy, how solid/strong is it? I've got a habit of going OTT and breaking my tools.As for my BB, decided just to go back to the old cup & cone until I get a new crankset.

Like the ones on the left
Though looking to replace as some knobber in a souped up 3 door crashed into the side of me and bent the left one.

Who grassed him up? Is there a mole?
Must be plenty of locals rabbiting on about him.
Poor bloke, the police are gonna badger him relentlessly, wonder how they'll ferret him out.. -
I have one of these "Tange" ones, and they also do an even cheaper Stronglight one for about £20 shipped http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopchain.html.
Cheers, though sadly they don't come long enough for my (possibly ancient) cranks.
I'm a bit confused by "If you install an ISO crank on a J.I.S. spindle, it will sit about 4.5 mm farther out than it would on an ISO spindle of the same length." -Sheldon
Surely the problem I'm having is the cranks are sitting too far IN?
Really need my bike back on the road, so just going to order a JIS BB with a longer spindle tonight (finding it impossible to find a ISO one of the right length). This is all getting a little esoteric for me so considering the original is 118, should I go for 122 or even 127? Some pictures below of the crank on the new BB (and the contact between the ring and the chainstay).
Cheers, everyone.

that's because that original BB is an ISO taper one, and the shimano one is JIS. You need the right one or you will fuck your cranks.
Bugger.
According to Mr. Brown, It should be okay with a longer spindle? Most of the online stores I'm looking at don't mention which their bottom brackets are, do I just have to go off the brand?
Thanks for the help. -
Actually, gonna hijack the thread a bit, I'm just replacing the same kind of old bottom bracket with a shimano cartridge BB (UN-55). I assumed the square tapers would be the same thickness on both kinds, so just ordered the same width BB, though now I've got the cartridge in, the cranks sit too close to the frame and the inner chainring rubs against the chain stay. So I guess the Shimano tapers are narrower? PAIN IN THE ARSE.
Any idea how much wider BB I should order? The old one was 118mm, I'm thinking 127mm as it's making contact with the chains stays before I've even tightened it fully. Anyone else had this problem? advice? -
You'll need a crank arm puller and (probably) a 14mm socket wrench first. Once the cranks are off, maybe you can loosen the lock ring by hand? You could probably loosen it with a screwdriver (Be gentle!) as for the other side (can't really see it under the grime!). It might be possible to unscrew with a wrench, though it's very hard to get enough grip on such a narrow surface. Why not get the cranks off, then take it down to a halfords and use their tools?
