Re: [RBW] Susie Longbolts Bottom Bracket + Spindle Length Question

[Richard Rose]

Kirk’s, I recently replaced the Shimano bb on my Clem with a Stronglight unit from Peter White. Nice quality & service. I will likely get one for my Gus when needed.

There are not a lot of good options for 73mm shells. The Shimano UN300 I installed on another bike recently felt quite stiff and gritty so I was hoping for something nicer but not in the Phil/White Industries range. Seems like my options are the Tange 3922 (does anyone know if this has steel or aluminum cups?) or the Origin8 Torqlite. Any thoughts on the two? https://www.thebikesmiths.com/products/tange-ln-3922?variant=6891612471330 https://www.pedalpusherscyclery.com/product/origin8-torqlite-square-taper-bottom-bracket-200889-1.htm?srsltid=AfmBOopzmq8wTYp2vTZwcKOKoisfzfTqfaghBtmP19GprJKDOQFjq7eA And an additional question on spindle length: I'm going to run a Suntour XC Pro 110/74 bcd triple crank which, based on my research, requires a 122.5mm spindle. I'm going to use it as a double (38/24) with a bash guard on the outer ring. Will a 122.5mm spindle stiff suffice? Or do I need a longer spindle since I'm effectively moving the middle line of my chainrings inward?
