Sheldon on the Chainline

Wait, Sheldon claims 42.5 for the RD's or for your rear hub and cog setup? The Sugino spec for the RD's is now 45, don't ask me why.
Well, kind of. On the wheelset page at Sheldon's site (this one ) if you scroll down to where the list of wheels begins, he says that all the wheelsets listed will carry a 42mm chainline unless otherwise noted...could be out of date??

And then on the crank page they have the RDs listed as carrying a 42mm chainline as well ( this link , scroll down a bit to the RDs ). I figure that with the 103mm BB, the RDs, and the Formula hubs, I have to be pretty close to 42mm --hopefully not all the way out to 45...then again I'm sure that I'm perfectly capable of doing a poor job assembling everything 3mm out-of-whack.

I'm gonna swing by the LBS tonight on the way home and see about a couple things (I need to learn a little more about bullhorn HB width sizing vs drops, gonna ask them if the Shimano pedals with SPD one side and platforms the other are any good, and a few other things) maybe they can take a look at the chainline while its there.
