I suppose I could drop down another 3 mm as there appears to be room before the chain or rings would contact the frame, but it seems weird that that they'd specify something so much bigger than ideal. Oh well, at least bb are cheap.

Checking the chainline isn't hard, so I could do that fairly easily before too much else. Since I'm using a road frame and 130 mm hubs, should I be shooting for the narrower (according to sheldon) 45 mm chainline of a road triple rather than the 47.5-50 of a mtb triple?
