Hello, maybe you can help? Wanting to install a Phil Wood square taper bottom bracket on a 2004 Bianchi SASS to use a White Industries single speed ENO crankset. What are the specs of the bottom bracket?

JIS stainless or titanium? 108mm or 113mm?

Aluminum or Stainless cups? 68, 70 or 73mm?

Some knowledge from MTBR member, Schmucker: I have a Surly Hub and WI Freewheel as well. The general consensus is that the rear chainline is between 54 and 55mm. ENO cranks have a 47.5mm with a 113mm BB spindle. So let's say 54.5mm rear chainline. (54.5-47.5)*2+113=127mm. Measure your chainline first and make sure. If you go with a Phil Wood BB you'll have ~5mm of left/right adjustment to make corrections. I've seen people use 121mm BB and claim to have a straight chainline with your setup, so there might be some disparity.
