Converting triple to double
I have a Shimano 2200 triple on my road bike, which I'm pretty sure is square taper. There's a good deal going for an old Shimano 600 square taper double, and I'm wondering if I need a new BB to make it work. Is the difference in BB center to outer ring made by the crank itself or by the length of the BB?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Is there an easy way to know which size BB I need?
