BB to fit dura ace AX 165mm cranks
Anyone know of or ride these older cranks? My crank arm is attached to a single 3/32 50t chainring.
Am I limited to JIS? or can I interchange with ISO? Im trying to achieve a 42mm chainline but according to Sheldons chart AX have a 43.5mm.

Either way, im just looking for an affordable bb that will work and get me as close to 42mm as possible (i guess flipping spider arm is option, but i would rather not go that route). Suggestion on what bb to look for are appreciated!
thanks

IRO is also JIS...why screw up a decent set of cranks? A 109mm ISO taper is what is supposed to be used with them...look around for a Campy 109 or Miche (also ISO) 109.

Have you actually seen your Dura Ace AX cranks? You need adaptors in them to fit standard English-threaded pedals, otherwise you are looking for Dyna Drive pedals. Good luck trying to grab some away from Alexi Grewal.
