I'll reveal mine too. According to my limited understanding it was designed for a long asymmetric spindle and the driveside of modern cranksets like the XD take that into account so modern symmetric BBs work. I asked the bike shop to futz with it and the granny was still too close with a really long spindle. So I'm putting an XD on with a 113 BB and all will be well. Anyone want some AT cranks?
But Doug, then what excuse would I have for the Rambouillet? :) I have 1.25 Paselas on the Atlantis now just out of curiosity with some 1.75s in reserve.
