Installing a 68 width into a 73mm shell.... bad?
I have a Surly 1x1 that I just found a crack in my RaceFace cranks. Neat.
I use it as a rainy commuter bike and so figured I would get a Campy alloy crank for it so I could use my pretty full complement of campy rings I already have. But I have come to realize that nobody makes a british 73mm width ISO taper BB other than Phil and I don't really want to invest $200 on a BB and tools. So, I assume a 68mm BB would fit but the non-drive side cup would sit recessed into the BB shell by 5mm. Is that the only problem I face? I know I can install the BB onto a JIS taper, but prefer not to. Notes: I don't want to face the BB to 68mm if possible so as not to a) screw with resale b) intruduce a rust spot since it IS my rain bike. I already bought the crank so.... |
if the NDS cup has a lip, it'll prevent proper support on the NDS
NDS crank will also sit in further, so you'll have to make sure your NDS crank doesn't hit your chainstay. |

You might call these folks and see if they have the correct taper. http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cg...r-Spindle&q=&s=
