I'm glad i'm not alone, here. Thanks for the insights. I've always used a 1mm spacer or 2 to tweak my chainline. This helps my old bikes work better. I now see that the BB-UN55 NDS cap has to be socked down up against the cartridge to hold it. This will always be a problem since the lip on the NDS cap will prevent it from reaching in all the way. Shimano has essentially re-engineered their product for reasons I can't figure out. They have fixed what was not broken and broke it. The Tange NDS cap can be tightened in as far as there are threads in the shell. It is adjustable in any number of ways. i think for the additional $4 it's a better choice. And you're right, the Tange does exude quality. I hope Shimano is reading this and gets back on track with their BBs.
