Well I refurbished this thrift-shop Motobecane Jubilee and everything is fine except the crank. I suspect the spindle is bent cause I can't seem to get the slop out of it even though I've tightened the cup a half a dozen times. It also exhibits run-out when spun. The crank is a cotterless Nervar and previous replies to this problem suggested that Campy or Sugino spindles have tapers same or close enough to replace Nervar. True?
