Well I hate starting new threads so I try to post on one that's related. Here's my problem:

I took a crank and bottom bracket from an old Fuji to put on a Nishiki Mixte. Turns out that when I tried to put on the crank it was already touching the frame on the drive side before I tightened it down. Both are 68mm shell's so I knew that wasn't it. I believe that the spindle is too short (3L on spindle 115mm) on the drive side. So I'm thinking that I have to go to a longer spindle to correct the problem. BTW the crank is a SR Apex using a Sugino BB. Any comments?
