V1 Octalink BB Length for Ultegra 6500 Crank?
Hey all,
I currently have a 107mm square-taper BB which runs a pretty clean chainline on my ss/fg.
I just bought a new Ultegra 6500 Double Crankset for my road bike from Nashbar ($69!!) and I am taking my old one (same make and model) and putting it on my ss/fg.
Considering it's a double crank, the recommended BB length is 109.5mm (or just 109). I am using the inside chainring, so is that going to work out?
Unfortunately V1 spline Octalinks aren't incredibly common and are just kind of kept around now for older bikes.
Thanks!
