ISO on Campag only. Earlier TA are ISO, later JIS.

Incidentally, I ran ISO cranks on JIS tapers and it didn't end happily.

Yes.

Good as it all get a bit too confusing with these standards lol.

CQP with ISO taper on Shimano JIS BB-M730


CBR with JIS taper on Shimano JIS M730


Thats just an example to see how much the difference is. It's huge! Bot crank taper are alright.

ISO and JIS have the same taper of combined 4 degrees. The ISO uses a slightly longer and thinner part of the same taper. Hence JIS cranks go too far on ISO axles. BITD we would mix and match and use whatever worked lol
