Hi

Does anyone know the correct spindle length for the BB using a Shimano triple chainset on a Genesis Croix de Fer 2013, please?

the BB shell 68mm.

thanks

The BB will be specified in the technical documents for the particular chainset.

Photos of that bike suggest it is fitted with a hollowtech crankset which has an integral crank and bottom bracket spindle design. With this arrangement you only need buy a set of bottom bracket cups but it is worth checking the condition of the spindle which should be a consistent diameter along its length. Under certain circumstances the bracket bearings can seize and wear the spindle.
