a question for van dessel hub users

does anyone know what size BB to use in order to have a perfect chainline with the van dessel road (130mm) hub?

duh, i forgot about that. right now i've got a pair of sugino vt 170mm road cranks with the chainring on the outside of the spider, and the chainline seems to be about 1mm off. i'm planning on trying out a pair of the dotek 165mm bmx cranks, and was wondering about bb and chainline issues. i need to upgrade my bb anyway, so this gives me a good excuse to do it.

Bikes: 2 roadies, 7 fixed-gears, 1 hardtail, 1 full suspension mtb, and 1 hybrid...so far.

Mine came with my Country Road Bob, so it's already aligned, but I really like the hubs...and mine sees time off-road too.
