Almost...I'm actually spitballing the idea of fitting a SiSL crankset to a MTB with a shimano pressfit, hence the 92mm.
The crankset I'm eyeing off comes with both a 104mm and a 109mm spindle. @Howard - would a longer spindle work? Say jumping to a 122mm or a 137mm F-Si spindle?
The other side of the argument is the concern of bearing wear - squeezing tiny bearings into a PF shell using a 30mm shell would mean I'd need to double up the bearings on each side if I go with a custom solution.
In all likelihood this sort of setup seems too much to faff with, but thanks in advance for humouring me guys.
Edit: oops, just read the next page of replies - @Dammit suggested what just wrote.

No - it's extremely unlikely that the Raceface BB is what @mishmash11 needs. I'm assuming @mishmash11 wants to fit this to a road frame, as that's what the 109mm axle is for, and the RaceFace BB linked to is for MTBs which have wider shells when in BB92 flavour (91mm vs 86 for road).
On top of that, the 109mm axle is designed for a 73mm or 68mm bottom bracket shell and when used in 73mm flavour has no available horizontal slack - it is simply too short to work in a BB92 or BB386 frame.
