Ok. Now I know what you are saying. I bought this bike used. One of the previous persons working on the bike must have used an incorrect size spindle when he worked on the bottom bracket. Since I’m going to have a shop remove the entire assembly and replace it with a cartridge type bottom bracket, I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I am learning a lot about bottom brackets, though.
