Phil Wood doesn't make a 108mm JIS BB. I'd bet it's ISO.

FWIW, the Vuelta Pista crankset isn't very good.

Am I missing something here? FWIW, here's a pic of the bb in question. I'll try and hit up the lbs tomorrow and pull out the bb to see if there are any etches on it to describe what it is, if PW even does that.

And yea, I've heard a multitude amount of reviews about Vuelta and how bad they are.

just thought because you deal with shipping a lot more than me, you might have an idea.

I went onto RG, put a frameset and wheelset in my cart, and set my country as singapore and it came to $189.50.

Coming back from the LBS, they compared it to their bb's and declared it as JIS. Should I try for an Andels (requires 110mm JIS) or IRD (same as Andel's) and fit it from there? I read that Phil Wood can be adjusted to fix the chainline, but can it adjust up to 2 mm to fit these cranksets? Thanks Scrod!
EDIT: Just ordered the Andel's and I'll just adjust the chainline from Phil bb

in your opinion/experience, in what order would you put these tires in terms of their "speed" (i.e. low rolling resistance)
rimbo, durano plus, rando, everwear

gotcha, additionally (but not related):
would randos make a good rain/beater tire?

Hey Scrod,
Why do so many people use randos? I see so many people using them around here and some people swear by them. But in my experience they aren't that amazing.

I have a feeling a lot of people use them because the MASH guys said they're the only rear tire they'll use.
