Does anyone know if the chainline for a 2007 clockwock is 50mm or 47.5? I'm running octalink so need either a 113 or 118mm BB.
Thanks

I don't know whether the Clockwork Orange needs a specific chainline, but as far as I know an Octalink chainset should work on either a 47.5mm or a 50mm chainline. It might just come down to what chainring clearance you want. I've got an old DN6 Inbred and a newer 853 one. Both run XT M752 Octalink chainsets, the DN6 has crimped stays and bags of chainring clearance so I run a 113mm axle. The 853 Inbred has the wide bridgeless stay desgin that has poor chainring clearance so I run a 118mm axle.
