The 'correct' TA spindle was 116mm but it should be used with TA cups in
order to be "meaningful" - I know that Sutherland's claims a Stronglight BB
(118mm
spindle) can be substituted, but I have tried that combination, and it does
not allow for enough clearance of the inner ring and the RH chain stay on mo
st
English frames I played with......As the esteemed Mr. H. Sachs would say:
YMMV
