I am looking for a Shimano Octalink Bottom Bracket (118.5), English threads. This would come off a triple chainring setup and is the wider of the two available from Shimano. I need longer spindles on my commuter setup, if you want to get ride of one let me know!

Shimano also made an XTR Octalink BB that might work for you. They had two lengths - 112.5 and 116 - and the latter might work but I think the 118.5 had quite a bit more asym rightward offset.

I have/am selling both a 112.5 and 116. I used to use them on my 'cross bike; they gave a perfect chainline using a DA 7700 crank with a single chainring.
