Spacers equal 3mm. So total would be 127mm. Had no issues w/the cups so I am not sure what you mean. FWIW, I used a VO cartridge BB. One problem I did have, was that the 10speed chain, being so much thinner than 6 speed chain ( I was using early 80's Sugino rings 46/30) would get caught between the rings. I got VO 46, ramped outer and now have no problems.
