Bullseye after market BB?

was not what was on there from OEM, in Japan. you are not the original owner,
Right?

One advantage Phil Wood BB have is the spindle is a press fit within the inner bearing ID
so the offset is adjustable, by pulling the spindle towards the side you wish longer.
in addition , the mounting rings allow a further fine tuning of the chainline

MUSA... Phil continues Bullseye has not.


....
Symmetrical BB you pick the one with the drive side of the appropriate Length
and accept the NDS is not your ideal length..

Sugino triple Mighty Tour * used longer DS, (TA likewise),
newer cranks were designed to use shorter DS spindles ,
By having their profile coming in to meet them..

*All 3 chainrings on a 110 bcd.. so can be a 50 34 double too
<a modern option on many bikes>
