i know this has been covered and i did a little searching of the archives and couldn't find much.
where is the link that lists the different campy spindles, the lengths and all that fun stuff?
why am i asking? I have some record cranks that are in fine shape (double), (i think they have a "2" in a circle which means '82 model). i have rifled cups with a "68-SS" spindle, it's asymmetric, chainline is fine, barely have clearance at the right chainstay. this is the reason, the cranks will almost slide all the way down the taper on the spindle. i was thinking oh well someone just overtightened these cranks and i have some really nice looking cranks i can't use now.
after this ordeal last night i'm wondering about campy spindles... i have another set of cranks, 151bcd, i mated them to a 68-P-120 spindle that was in a track frame i got. they too, were sliding very far onto the taper so much that i took the left arm off thinking it was trash...i found a few lone arms to try. the crank arm bolt actually doesn't fit that spindle well either so i replaced the BB with some different cups and a "68-SPc" spindle i had around just to see if it worked out.
here is the weird part. the old cranks that were not fitting too well on the "68-P-120" spindle fit the "68-SPc" spindle great.
Is the "68-SPc" spindle JIS taper??? Now I'm wondering if there is another spindle I can get for the '82 Record cranks (double) that I have that are not working well with the "68-SS" spindle.
so who knows of the link? was it branford bike or campy only? me and campyonly aren't compatible because i can't ever find the info i need on that site and i know it's there...
