The best way to determine this kind of stuff is to try the cranks on a known BB axle and see what might be able to be made "better" with a different BB. In theory a BB axle that's 5.5MM shorter then current will be expected to change the chainline by about half the length difference. But a little tolerance drift, wear, or other variables can make chasing down these last few MMs impossible without testing. Andy
