Correct spindle width for Stronglight 99 triple?
 
I have a '70 PX10 and I'm going to replace the original Stronglight 93 double crankset with a Stronglight 99 triple. I haven't had the bottom bracket apart in a long time but I'm pretty sure the original spindle is a 118 (mm in width). Can anyone tell me what width I'll need for the triple?

In a thread from about a week ago Sierra said that a 123 or 125 was the spindle to look for. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Greg

Suggestion-if someone has a Sutherland's repair manual it should have the info that you need.

I'm planning the same change with my Motobecane GT; thinking of either a Stronglight 99 or a TA Cyclotouriste. Is the width of the bottom bracket spindle I will need dicated by the bike's bottom bracket, by the crankset, or both?
