Getting harder to find in good shape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Workshop Wisdom:<\/strong> Octalink V1 and V2 are not interchangeable \u2014 V2 has shallower, wider splines. If your crank says &#8220;Octalink&#8221; without a version number, check the spline depth before ordering. The BB-ES70 is V2 only.
