i've had a similar question just out of curiosity.
if the problem is simple enough,
for instance: JIS spindle + ISO crank arm, so there needs a few millimeter more to push in,
could we just file not the spindle but the square hole on the arm side—which should be relatively easier than filing the spindle?
totally understand it's not a nice idea. just thought like why not when things don't idealistically work...
i'm sure there's someone who's tried this, no?
