[QUOTE. Are all, or most square tapered cranks and bbs compatible with each other (not taking into account spindle length)?
No they are not. As far as I know there are two standards of the tapering, ISO (European, Campy fpr instance) and JIS (japanese, Shimano) I do not think it is a good idea to mix them

Yes, all square taper cranks are compatible with each other and with all square taper bottom brackets. There is only one thing you have to keep in mind: ISO/J.I.S. Interchangeability:
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.
Conversely, if you install a J.I.S. crank on an ISO spindle, it will wind up about 4.5 mm farther in than it would on a J.I.S spindle of the same length.

So what about the size and type of the crankset and or bb, dose that effect or limit the type of chain, rear/front derailleur, cassette, or any other components I can use on my bike, or vice versa?
