Hey guys, I'm a lurker who has recently re-obtained my FC from the previous owner.
I'm looking to rebuild it and I'm up against the BB problems. I know that Rody has the bearings and collars, but I'm running into issues with the length of the BB spindle.
I have a 125 mm spindle currently, and it doesn't fit any very common cranks. Any sources for different, maybe more modern spindle lengths?
I'm aware of the phil bearing/spindle option, but I'm a little unclear also. Do the phil spindles still require locking collars? If I go to a narrower spindle, will I have room for a collar?
I'm reaching the point of frustration with the whole pressed in BB situ, would like to cut it off and put in something standard, but here we are.
Thanks guys.
