Why do they make the Dura Ace lock rings different from ultagra or 105? Weight? I have a DA crank and BB but it wouldn't work with the 105 because it is a triple. I have never had a triple, I am getting older, I feel I will need it.
Dura ace or not has no bearing on whether it works with your 105 triple. It's the length that's the issue. For road 109.5 is for doubles and 118 is for triples. There are two versions of the dura ace octalink bottom bracket. The one that features an adjustable lockring on the L cup is the "cup and cone" version of the BB. The other is the same design as the ultegra/105 octalink versions, 2 piece.
