That said, you may or may not need the same spindle with the mix-and-match Sugino/Shimano set you have now. Since you need to pull the bottom bracket anyway, you'll just need to measure and have a little trial and error.
Thanks
tricky that Sheldon chart helped narrow things down further as its Sugino XD crank which puts the spindle in the 113-118 range. And I'll keep the NDS crank arm in mind too, good point. Hopefully I can keep my funky setup.
At the end of the day this is the crux, mix and match, hunt and peck, swap and spin.
Combined with Sheldon's time honored info, the right tools and any better understanding and you will be good to go on these dilemma's from now on.
Don't get too hung up on the finite info, dig in, get the hang of it and build up a stock of parts and pieces to facilitate the process, you will often have the parts on hand, I save any and all cups and spindles for reference.
The co-op is the place to stock up if you have one nearby, if not buy a few clunkers with square taper BB's and have at it. The experience and practice getting them apart can also be invaluable and will get you able to knock em out easy when necessary.
Funky can be the name of the game on this, great fun.
