  1. I've got a couple of Truvative / Bontrager cranksets (doubles) that I need BBs for.
    They're ISIS.
    A guy on an auction here has 2 ISIS BBs. He's measured the length of the axle at 113mm.
    He says thats for a triple.
    Is that correct? How would that length axle go for a double? Would it really be too long?
    Cheers 🙂

  2. Isis BB are generally 108mm for double road sets

    113mm would not be too long ... that's only a 2.5mm difference in the so-called Q-factor on each crank arm ...

    AND, less than the Q-factor for those who have triple cranksets for which I believe a 118mm is also a suggested spindle length ...

    AND, the resultant Q-factor of using a 113mm ISIS spindle instead of a 108mm is less than whatever Q-factor you may have if you have a MTB.

    108.5 for a double and ISIS. Beware tho, these BBs, all of them from any manufacturer, were very short lived.
