(This is with a Silver crankset but if I'm not mistaken they spec the same 
BB length for a standard triple so they should be very close)

I think part of your answer depends on your tire choice...

Hope that helps!

On my susie (53cm) I am using the 127x68 shimano b/b (but with a 73mm cup
on the left side).

[RBW] Susie Has a Question - Bottom Bracket Spindle Length

['Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch]

A question about bottom brackets for the Susie Longbolts:

I got a Tange LN-3922 73 x 127 bottom bracket cartridge for my Susie. I 
wasn’t thoroughly reading the comments that mentioned this BB was 
recommended ... for a Rivendell Silver crank. However, I’m using an older 
SR XD2 “wide x low” 40 — 26 crankset (with chain guard). The 127 turns out 
to be way too wide for a good chain line with the SR.

A 122mm BB (American Classic Sealed w/adjustable chainline) that I tried 
still puts the crank arms about 15mm (L) to 17mm (R) away from the chain 
stays. 
The 26 tooth inner has about 10mm clearance to the right chain stay. Tread 
or “Q” factor is about 179mm.
I’m thinking I need the Tange 118 cartridge or the 115.5.

Anyone have experience with using the XD2 crankset on the new Susie (or 
Gus)? My frame is a medium (53).
What bottom bracket did you use?

Thanks,
