So sick! May I ask what spindle length or bottom bracket you are using for the Specialites TA crankset? I have one, along with a Stronglight crank, and I can't get the spindle lengths figured out. The drive side requires a much longer spindle than the NDS, was almost thinking of trying a tripple BB. Thanks!
