I've measured the old FAG BB axle and the excess clearance at non-drive and drive side.
Current axle is 127.5 mm and is way too long.
Shortest axle possible will be around 115 mm, while Velobase says, that this Ofmega chain set requires a 123 mm axle.
I guess that I will settle for something between 115 mm and 122.5mm, whatever gives the best result and is available.
The crank arms were pretty tight and it was hard to turn in the crank extractor, but I disassembled the crank arms without ruining the threads. Pppffffff....
Now I have to build the wheels and source more parts.
