I recently bought a used cowan. It came with AC 3 piece cranks and a 48 splined euro BB. I found that the BB spindle is too long for the cranks, so the cranks don't get full tight on the spindle, there's just a touch of side to side play.

Anybody else have this problem and know of a solution besides buying a new BB? and if I need a new BB, do most bikes shops stock a euro 48 splined BB?

Thanks for the help.
