Some of the Shimano ctg bb's were asymmetrical - longer to the driveside. You can see it usually, but can confirm it with calipers. I didn't know if maybe the VO bb was spec'd that way, and it somehow got reversed. > As far as I know, the BB cartridge and the drive-side cup are one unit > on this BB; it was the drive-side crank arm that interfered with the > BB. I'm pretty sure that those cartridges are press-fit into the "cup" on the driveside. It's possible that the cartridge didn't seat properly, or there's something wrong with the thickness of the "cup", which would move everything towards the non-drive side. > > It's the Grand Cru, not the threadless. > > No, I simply assumed it was a 107mm since that's what I ordered and > that's what the package said.

With that kind of result, I'd definitely measure the spindle for starters. Wouldn't be the first time that a package was mismarked/mispacked.
