We've been over this before (if somebody is interested in all the details and ramifications, check the archives) but here it is in short: Unless something has changed very recently, the spindles of TA pedals marked "BSC" now are about 14.8 mm in outer diameter, which is FR threading. According to TA, these work fine with BSC cranks, too, and I have no reason to doubt that. The pedals I am selling measure about 15.2 mm outer spindle diameter, so they actually are BSC-threaded.
