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...
A really good Campy resource, Bicycle Classics (
www.bicycleclassics.com) seems to be back up and running after being MIA for a while. On their Bottom Brackets page, at the bottom they have a Reference Table for Campy spindle and cup selection that is thought to be reliable for SR and NR cranksets.
He says NR and SR arms are identical in spindle fit. So the NR selections are applicalble for your crank as long as it's not really a Gran Sport ("GS" imprinted on it). So you need to look at this page, find your situation (crankset age, track/double/triple, BB shell width, BB shell threading, thick/thin cup) and find the spindle specs, then look at the available part lisitngs to see the imprints on the spindle. Don't worry about the prices, this seller specialized in mint, boxed, pristine NOS. But having learned what you need, you can search for the correct part NOS.
BTW, I have an Avocet crank which wants an Ofmega spindle (Avocet re-branded an Ofmega crankset). I might be interested in the one you have. It's obsolete, but I might be able to use it.
