flight spindles

(1/1)

Glen:
My current setup is as follows:

401 full wrap arms on what seems to be a new spindle (generic, proline or double pinch flight) with a new profile sealed BB.  The spindle is not threaded like the early 401 dimpled spindles.  I found out this when I bought new 401 bolts that didnt fit the current spindle, they were too big.  The current bolts are alot smaller.

My question:

Can I run the current profile sealed BB on an old 401 dimpled threaded spindle?

thanks

Nope, they are different.
