Hey all,

I have this beautiful vintage cinelli precursa pista that i'm getting some parts onto and have a phill wood bottom bracket with italian threads that will fit my bike. Its spindle length is 113. what size crank will work? I was looking at an andel crankset that is 165mm. Will this all fit?

thanks in advance!!

    Ask Andel which axle length is required for your specific model crankset.
    Our cristall ball is a bit fuzzy on that.
    Another option: push the crankset on your Bb axle and LOOK if it's going to be a sufficient fit.
    (cranks move app. 2 mm inward when the bolt is torqued)

    Have a look at the chainsets listed here - for each chainset they tell you the BB length needed: http://www.velodromeshop.net/track-chainsets/. I think you'll find most track chainsets use a shorter BB than 113, but with a Phil Wood BB you can move it a couple of millimetres side to side by varying how far the left and right lockrings screw in, so that gives you a bit of extra wiggle room.
