you're so right. didn't think it will become off center...
hmmm.
in fact, i'm having to match a suntour sprint spindle to a campy SR arms.
first it had been to match to an ofmega crank that was sold after learning that old ofmega had an obsolete spindle size. apparently that ofmega was an ISO size, comparing to the campy i got as a replacement. still need to push the spindle in like another 5 - 6 mm.
really love the NOS suntour sprint spindle and want to make it work not having to look for another campy spindle or so...
it does seem ok to screw the bolt in with that 5mm gap—as mr.brown has once said ok too in his article, but you know...
