FSA vero vs tempo, do they use the same BB width?

[Ugo51]

Hi guys,

My commuting bike is currently mounting the stock FSA tempo crankset, which uses a 118mm BB
I am thinking to switch to a 165mm and I found a FSA vero. Do you know if these two crankset would use the same BB? It's a new BB and it would save me from replacing it.

Thanks

If they are both square taper and same number of chainrings I'd say yes??

Thanks.
I wish it was that simple though...

I found documentation on both cranksets. The Vero needs a 110,5mm axle length for the same chainline of 44. So using existing BB gives a 48mm chainline. This is for the compact cranks. Pdf are on these pages:

True value and performance are found in the Vero series of components, check the new Vero Pro crankset. The Vero cranks and handlebars are built to serve the recreational rider well and enhance their riding enjoyment.

I found that, but the Vero crankset I saw online has 5 arms, so I wonder if it's a different kind of Vero crankset...
I think that in the end I will just get a simple Sugino replica from SpaCycles (£17!) to test the 165mm cranklength and in case I like it, I will consider upgrading
