Spindle length on BB
Hi all--I need a very long spindle bottom bracket. I'm presently running FSA Gossamer cranks with a Mega Expo. Sorry for being ignorant here, but do I just get a triple? It is difficult to find the spindle length on FSA's website.
If not FSA, what BB/cranks might I find with a very long spindle?

Modern external bottom bracket cranksets, like the Gossamer, have the spindle integrated into the crank arm. The bottom bracket doesn't effect the spindle length, it just provides bearings for the spindle to go through. External bottom bracket road cranksets have a standard spindle length, so double or triple will still have the same spindle length.
