Since this thread is back, I also have an on-topic question.

A customer is asking me about upgrading his U08 with cottered cranks, and would like to use road double cotterless cranks. I have a few JIS cranksets from which to choose. I was considering the Velo Orange French Bottom Bracket; what spindle length would be best for a road bike double (Shimano 600 or possibly a Sugino set)?

Thanks
