Square taper, Octalink, ISIS (haha) double or triple? This type of BB doesn't directly correspond to any of those.
It is most commonly used for a Hollowtech II Shimano road double or triple if that helps.
BTW: the article linked while accurate certainly hypes the new press in bearings.
A 68mm English road BB or a 73mm English Mountain BB will always have a crank available from one of the big 3 mainstream component manufacturers.
Uhh, the spindle that would exist at that length
if one was there. The whole "effective" qualifier is really throwing people off.

C for me or the other poster?
Effective spindle length is a theoretical length, ie of course it doesn't exist. To answer your question, yes the information helps but related to a follow up question rather than the OP. Many thanks either way.
