Thank you for the condolences.

So I was looking around online for a 125mm bb yesterday and didn’t really find much in that length. Made me question my measuring. So I pulled everything out of the shell and had a closer look. It measures 124.5mm not counting the threads for the crank nuts.

Something that I did not notice when I first built the bike nearly 3 years ago is that one side (the right side in the photo) is about 3mm longer than the left side. Unfortunately I don’t know for sure which way I had it installed, but I presume I had the short end on the drive side, the chain ring was very close to the stay (probably backwards??). Can anyone confirm which direction it should go? Will a symmetrical axle work for this application or should I find one like this?
