Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, those V1 octalink BB's were only made in 109.5 and 118, nothing in between.

Anybody have a triple octalink BB they can measure for me? Specifically, the stub protrusion on the drive and non-drive sides? If all extra 9mm is on the crank side (doubtful, but possible) I may run into the opposite problem- FD unable to reach the outside of the big ring.
