> Richard, are you going to use the original Stronglight cranks? If so, there may be a problem using an ISO taper. Stronglight arms would sometime "bottom out" on ISO (Campy and clone) tapers, that is, the inside of the crank would hit the inside end of the taper before the crank arm tightened up on the taper. In this situation, continuing to to tighten the crank bolts will achieve nothing except perhaps snapping the heads off the bolts. This was a separate problem from whether you have the right axle length. JIS tapers, on the other hand, usually worked OK with Stronglight arms.

(Yes, I am aware that the infamous Campag vs. CPSC (abbrv?) issue may be relevant here.) I am hoping the number stamped into an International spndle will serve me to shop for what is needed.
