This isn't a finite list, but should give a great idea. If you want to add something, put it in the comments and i'll update the post.

BMX Bottom Bracket Spindles

There are 3 sizes spindles: 19mm, 22mm and sometimes 20mm for sealed bottom brackets. Normally for 3 piece, and sometimes 2 piece cranks.

There are a few different sizes of spindles for 1 piece cranks, but these are more dependant on the bottom bracket shell.

BMX Botton Bracket Shells

And there are different sizes bottom brackets shells: American, Euro (threaded), Mid and Spanish.

Bottom Bracket Type Cup ID/Bearing OD
American Press-Fit 51mm
Spanish Press-Fit 37mm
Mid Press-Fit 41mm
Euro Threaded
