Hm. Maybe the cutoff was below Cyclone level? Anyway, I already have an English cups/spindle set (I was running the Superbe crank on a different bike). I removed the cranks today to check out the spindle length/asymmetry.
What does this taper look like to you guys? I don't have an eye for these things yet.
I measured 113mm overall spindle length, with 58mm of that from the centerline to the very end of the drive side taper. Can someone help me make sense of this information as it relates to the purchase of a new cartridge BB?
