Boss Cranks Lesson
Does anyone know the history and various styles of Boss cranks. I just picked up a set and am curious to know the vintage.

big splines/redline style are early. 48 spline/profile style are later

What about the square spindle? I thought they were the first.

That helps. Thanks. Would you happen to know if the spindle is a standard 19mm? It seems to be. I want to get a new bb and am hoping the newer ones will work.

Re: Boss Cranks Lesson
same as profile.
the difference in the profile to boss is boss had a large chamfer on the out side of the bearing cup. otherwise the same.
