As I wrote earlier, I was switching from a 105 crank to an Ultegra Octalink crank on my McLean. I had the wrong Octalink BB. So I put the right one in today. And the crank still slipped on the spindle. I think I chewed up the spline on the inside of the cranks! Damn. So I put the old 105 crank. I don't like this one because (1) it's ugly, and (2) the cranks are too long (175mm). Now I'll look for yet another crankset. I lost some money making this mistake! I can resell the BBs I have but not the cranks.
