Calling the skills of some serious bike geeks!
Trying to replace the BB on my m951 cranks (here old skool rules IMO) single ring set-up.
Think I’ve got a 73mm shell with a 116 axle but yet to take out and confirm.
From a bit of digging I see this is V1 where 105 and dura-ace units fit.
Would this be wise fitting say a 105 at £25.. assume correct fit as V1, be strong enough (12st and from a bmx/dh background) and fit as axle is a 118 (1mm differnt chainline)?
Or should I just stump the cash up for one from Merlin at £55?

Got hollowtech 2 external bearing cranks on another bike but there’s something about these that is just sweet..
