  1. I currently have Shimano Tiagra Triple crank and square tapered bottom
    bracket.

    I just purchased a Cannondale crank (Sugino) for use with Octalink
    bottom
    bracket. If I buy an Octalink bottom bracket, most come without crank
    bolts.

    What crank bolts would be compatible with my new setup and where can I
    find
    them?

    Would the old crank bolts/dust caps be compatible with the new setup?

    Thanks,

    Kerry

    Any good bike shop should have them. I bought an Ultegra crank without
    bolts and my favorite shop didn't blink when I asked them for some.
    They're even available as an aftermarket item:

    No. The thread size is very different.
