Shimano Octalink BB

After a good working order Shimano Octalink BB-5500 for my Trek 520.

I *think* it's 68mm x 118mm, but haven't removed the cranks and measured it yet. But this is what the specification for the bike says it is.

Thanks

Joe

118 it's for triple chainrings (112.5 for double).

Thanks for that,

Anyone got one?

I came across a few Octalink BB's at the Manchester Cycle Jumble last weekend, but I didn't want to take a punt on one without knowing the size!! Gutted!
 
Re:

Hi there. I have a 105 model in 118mm going spare. Done about 500 miles, looking for £15 posted. Pm me your email and I'll get a picture to you.
 
Thanks chaps - not had chance to remove the cranks yet (need to dig out the right crank puller) so just need to make sure it is indeed a 118mm.
