So I got my hands on a beautiful pair of RaceFace Turbines the other day, but with no bottom bracket. My goal is to get a proper chainline on my 135mm rear spaced Bridgestone XO in a singlespeed setup. Of course I can fuss with chainline by placing the ring on the inside or outside of the crank, but I am afraid of what size spindle BB to purchase.
The BB that I'm likely to buy is a Truvativ Team SL, though should I buy one with a 108mm or a 113mm spindle?

Most singlespeed MTB hubs give about a 52 mm chainline, which generally lines up with the outer ring position of a typical MTB triple crankset.
