We'll see, I've ordered the SRAM S600, so even if it's off at least it will match the bike

. Like the OP, I'm hoping to get lucky and everything falls into place, worth a try for 48 bucks. I have read that BB fitting is more of a " try it and see" than an exact science, and I've always had plenty of luck on my road bikes, but the Mt. triples are a different story.
No, it is an exact science, and I have tried to explain several times in this thread how you go about getting it right. Did you try measuring your chainline? It's a lot easier than returning stuff that doesn't work.
