The bolt circle is immaterial, but your use of the measurement "110mm" is creating confusion because no one measures the spindle on Shimano cranks the way you did.
Instead, Shimano refers to the spindle length by referring to the cranks compatibility with the BB shell width - either the crank is for 68 or for 73. You can adapt a 73 crank to a 68 bike with spacers.
Don't refer to the issue you are having by measuring the spindle length - no one knows that measure or uses it.
And bolt circle diameter has nothing to do with your problem, either.
OK THANKS, this was very usefull but it still doesnt solve the mystery of how the hell cube is selling attain frame bikes with normal cranksets
All the Attain bikes I just looked at online either that had discs listed Press-fit BBs. Where did you get the idea Cube was using road cranks with 73mm threaded BB shells?
