    In answer to your question ISCG stands for International Standard Chain Guide - this is the standard for the chain guide mount which is either OLD or 05. OLD is closer the BB.
    BB stands for Bottom Bracket - you can get mounts that attach directly to the bottom bracket and are usually held in place by the external cups but I read somewhere they work with the internal BBs as well but I've never tried this and not convinced.

    If I missed what you were confused by then ask again.

    Thank you that's made sense of it all.
