Can anybody tell me if I'm going to ruin my Dura Ace octalink cranks = when I put them on a pre
2003 XTR bb? I'm converting to triple and need a longer axe, and with a XTR bb the = gap between
the crank and the outer edge of the side cups wil be smaller = then when using a regular 118 mm
triple bb.

Thanx=20

Fits fine, but chainline will be leftward by a few mm depending on 112 or 116 XTR. Tom

I've gone the other way with no problems yet. Can't see why it won't = work.

That said, you should probably think about the Ultegra instead. = Sealed bearing, for sure works
with the D/A cranks, and (unless you = already have the XTR) is less expensive.
