David - yeah, that's why I attached that chart. For some reason the 107 and 110 have the same chain line (CL), but the 110 has a bit longer non-drive side length (JL). Not sure what the application would be for the difference between those two. The chain line (CL) doesn't jump another 3-4mm or so until the 113. As a buddy of mine used to always say years ago, "why's it have to be so complicated?" Beats me. I happen to be in the possession of a discontinued Park CLG-2 chain line gauge and whenever I have to change BB's I attach one end of that to the middle cog (or either side of middle for even numbered cassettes or freewheel clusters), see where the middle of the seat tube (as measured with a caliper) divided by half, plus the distance to where the midst of a two chainrings or middle of a three chainring crank would be and order accordingly.
