BBright - I don't know...
Yep, except hollow spindles, octalink and isis, were an answer to another not asked question for bicycles. Square taper, new cranks from shimano(7410) and Campagnolo, with short spindles, were stiff, reliable, useful, loads of heel clearance. Then shimano had to do octalink, followed by isis, which did nothing but start the bike wizards down this road.
