BB size question

Timothy Douma said:

I am building up a c. 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP. I have a Sakae Triple
that I'm putting on it. I tried a 115 length spindle, and the inner
chain ring hit the stay as I was tightening it up. Does anyone have the
correct size info? I'd hate to overshoot.

thanks

Try the 122mm spindle. A good bike shop will 'spec' it for you. Try BB
lengths until the proper one is found.

Which SR-Sakae crank? The premium qwuality FX triple for
example takes an asymmetric 3-P (35 right), an SAC triple
takes a more typical asymmetric 3-S (37.5 right).SR-Sakae
was at that time the largest volume crank maker in the
industry with a few dozen crank models.
