Shimano 600 crankset bottom bracket length?

[gareth01244]

Hi, looking for some advice on the correct axle length needed for a shimano 600 crankset, 68mm British threaded. According to Sheldon's site 113mm but have read other website forums and different measurements have been mentioned, anyone know for sure?
Many thanks

Early 600 cranks mimicked the Dura Ace of the day so would be 112mm in the 1970's.

Which 600 have you got?

I am using a 3SS on mine (121mm equivalent I think) but that puts the chainline straight on the 4th cog out. I think 113mm equivalent is a 3H which would put it about 3rd out.

They are the tricolour version, standard double

Stripey one was 6400 iirc and Velobase says 113mm.

Thanks Shaun, much appreciated. I had ordered one last night after checking Sheldon but began to doubt myself today so good to hear 113mm is right.

Something like a UN 55?

90 Dollars . Interesting that the box does not say tricolour, Shimano never used the word Arabesque either if memory serves.
