FAQ

What is the difference between JIS and ISO square taper?

JIS and ISO square taper spindles look identical but have slightly different taper angles. JIS cranks sit about 4mm deeper on the spindle than ISO cranks. Using the wrong pairing can result in poor chainline, crank creak, or damage to the crank arm. The ST100 is JIS, which is compatible with most Shimano and Asian-manufactured cranksets.

What tools do I need to install the ST100?

You will need a standard bottom bracket cup wrench (Park Tool BBT-22 or equivalent) and a crank puller for removal. Installation follows standard English threading: the drive-side (right) cup is left-hand threaded, and the non-drive side is right-hand threaded.

Is a 122.5mm spindle the correct length for my crankset?

Spindle length affects chainline and crank clearance. 122.5mm is a common length for road and mountain drivetrains on 68mm English shells, but always verify the recommended spindle length for your specific crankset before purchasing.

Best For

Builds, rebuilds, and replacement applications on English-threaded bikes running JIS square taper cranks. A practical, reliable choice for entry to mid-level road and mountain drivetrains where proven cup-and-spindle simplicity is preferred over modern press-fit systems.
