Yep. However, as evidenced by my recent LHT build with 135mm dropout spacing, you just can't tell until you try it.

I read the recommendations regarding 113mm and 118mm, wondering what the heck was up with the 110mm on the LHT and the Sugino triple. Sure enough, 110mm was the one that gives the most neutral chainline. That's what I went with on my LHT build-
