   I'm looking to buy these cranks:

   http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=15362

   for my Orange 222. I also need a new BB while I'm at it. Know I need a 73mm one, but how do I tell if I need 113mm or 118mm? Is there an easy way?

   Can anyone help? Thanks...

   If its for a 222, you'll kill ISIS in seconds. Better with current Shimano- Hone, SLX or Saint

   Cheers - I've always got on ok with ISIS to be honest. Always get decent life out of them, but will take into acount. Anyone know the answer to the original question?

   I've always had great results with my raceFace Signature ISIS bottombracket. Only ever changed the bearings once since 2001!
