Spindle Length Size
Hi Everyone,
I'm building up a bike for the first time. I'm looking to find the bottom bracket spindle length. I have a used Suntour XC LTD Triple Crankset. I'm putting it on a Surly Cross Check.
Any suggestions? - I can't seem to find it. I asked in a bike shop today and they told me it would be best to bring it in and have them install it. (Which kind of defeats the purpose of doing it myself... I really want to learn more than anything!). I imagine there is a way to measure or calculate the spindle length... If nothing else, I could just roll the dice with a 68x122.5 and see how it goes... (that seems to be the length of other cranksets that may be similar to mine.)
Go ahead and school me! Your help is appreciated...
