Earlier 7xx(?) Dura-Ace bb's from the AX era had 109mm bb spindles iir, different animal.


My current Centurion carbon rig uses a RaceFace JIS 113mm symmetrical cartridge with 7402 crankarms, and all is well despite the fact this bike's chainstays have no clearance crimps at all.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking a 113mm will work for my bike. It has fatter chain stays (Aluminum) but has clearance dimples. Nice lugged carbon bike by the way!
